Which outcome occurs when a scroll compressor's oil viscosity decreases due to overheating?

A)Increased refrigerant slip and leakage
B)Decreased efficiency of heat transfer
C)Greater compression chamber sealing
D)Elevated motor winding insulation life

💡 Explanation

Increased refrigerant slip and leakage arises because the scroll compressor relies on oil to maintain a tight seal. Reduced viscosity lessens the oil's sealing capability, therefore allowing refrigerant to slip backwards during compression, rather than properly compressing onwards.
