← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when rapid cycling of a chiller evaporator causes excessive superheat?
A)Compressor experiences oil starvation✓
B)Condenser coil develops corrosion
C)Metering valve experiences cavitation
D)Expansion tank freezes solid
💡 Explanation
Oil starvation occurs through refrigerant flood-back because the rapid cycling prevents complete evaporation; this slugs liquid refrigerant and oil back to the compressor, because gravity oil return requires sufficient time rather than continuous full evaporation.
