← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when exceeding the operational limit of a refrigeration cycle?
A)Reverse Brayton cycle reaches steady-state.
B)Vapor compression shifts subcooling degree.
C)Refrigerant undergoes incomplete phase change.✓
D)Coefficient of Performance will necessarily double.
💡 Explanation
Incomplete phase change occurs due to exceeding heat load; therefore, not all the liquid refrigerant evaporates; rather than efficiently absorbing heat during vaporization, liquid floods the compressor and causes damage because increased mass flow prevents proper expansion.
