← TechnologyWhich 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.
