Which outcome occurs within an operational heat pump when refrigerant subcooling decreases significantly?

💡 Explanation

When refrigerant subcooling decreases, liquid refrigerant can enter the compressor, resulting in liquid floodback because the compressor is designed to handle vapor, not liquid. Therefore compressor damage results, rather than expansion valve malfunction, or evaporator/condenser inefficiency that occur due to different mechanisms.
