← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when a scroll compressor operates outside its design pressure ratio?
A)Reduced volumetric efficiency results✓
B)Increased lubricating oil viscosity
C)Lower discharge gas superheat
D)Elevated condenser subcooling observed
💡 Explanation
Reduced volumetric efficiency occurs because backflow increases inside the scroll compressor's compression chambers. This leakage lowers the amount of refrigerant compressed per cycle, therefore the system performs with lower efficiency, rather than increased efficiency or altered thermal fluid properties.
