Which outcome results within a positive displacement refrigerant pump when the discharge valve fails to open during operation?

💡 Explanation

When the discharge valve is closed, the pump continues to displace fluid, causing rapid internal pressure buildup because the confined refrigerant has nowhere to exit. Therefore, component damage results from pressure, rather than motor overheating, cavitation, or backflow, each requiring different causes.
