Which outcome occurs when a static hermetic refrigeration system experiences excess refrigerant charge?

A)Increased compressor motor temperature
B)Reduced evaporator superheat and capacity
C)Elevated discharge pressure and temperature
D)Decreased cooling fan effectiveness

💡 Explanation

When a hermetic system is overcharged with refrigerant, the excess liquid floods the evaporator, reducing superheat because not all refrigerant vaporizes before returning to the compressor, thus lowering capacity. Therefore reduced superheat occurs, rather than temperature increase, pressure elevation, or fan issues, which require different mechanisms like blocked airflow.
