← TechnologyWhich phenomenon occurs when a refrigeration system experiences a refrigerant overcharge?
A)Increased superheat in the evaporator
B)Decreased subcooling at the condenser outlet
C)Liquid floodback to the compressor✓
D)Excessive expansion valve opening
💡 Explanation
When a system is overcharged, excess refrigerant occupies space in the condenser, reducing its ability to subcool the liquid refrigerant, resulting in liquid refrigerant entering the compressor, which can severely damage it due to the incompressibility of liquids. Therefore liquid floodback results, rather than superheat, subcooling, or valve opening issues requiring different refrigerant state changes.
