← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when an accumulator tank lacks proper thermal insulation in a large-scale chiller's evaporator?
A)Compressor slugging and bearing damage✓
B)Increased refrigerant subcooling downstream
C)Reduced superheat gas temperature
D)Higher volumetric efficiency cooling effect
💡 Explanation
Compressor slugging can result because the accumulator acts as a heat sink causing condensation to increase. Increased condensation overwhelms the system's ability to vaporize the refrigerant. Therefore, liquid refrigerant enters the compressor causing damage, rather than staying in vapor phase.
