Which outcome occurs when a scroll compressor in a refrigeration system experiences oil slugging?

💡 Explanation

Bearing failure occurs because oil slugging introduces incompressible liquid into the compressor, damaging its internal components through hydraulic lock. This happens rather than enhancing function; therefore, bearings fail due to lack of lubrication, as the oil pump can't cope with the excess fluid.
