← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs within an HVAC evaporator when refrigerant flow rate is significantly reduced?
A)Frost build-up restricting airflow✓
B)Compressor overheating from vapor saturation
C)Increased superheat decreasing efficiency
D)Expansion valve failure due to thermal stress
💡 Explanation
When refrigerant flow rate decreases, the evaporator temperature drops below freezing because heat transfer is insufficient, leading to frost formation that blocks airflow. Therefore frost build-up occurs, reducing airflow, rather than overheating or expansion valve failure, which relate to different refrigerant or compressor issues.
