← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when a refrigeration system's TEV bulb loses thermal contact?
A)Starvation of the evaporator coil✓
B)Flooding of the compressor crankcase
C)Decreased superheat leaving evaporator
D)Increased subcooling after the condenser
💡 Explanation
Starvation of the evaporator occurs because the Thermostatic Expansion Valve's (TEV) bulb losing contact leads to premature valve closure due to reduced sense of evaporator temperature; therefore refrigerant flow is restricted, rather than opening and flooding the system.
