← TechnologyWhich risk increases after prolonged operation of an industrial chiller with a saturated evaporator?
A)Compressor damage from liquid slugging✓
B)Expansion valve failure from thermal stress
C)Condenser corrosion from refrigerant breakdown
D)Reduced airflow from ice formation
💡 Explanation
When an evaporator is saturated (flooded), liquid refrigerant can be drawn into the compressor because insufficient evaporation occurs, leading to liquid slugging and potential valve or piston damage. Therefore compressor damage results, rather than valve failure, condenser corrosion or ice formation which arise from different mechanisms.
