← ScienceWhich risk increases rapidly when the refrigerant phase transition within a chiller compressor fails?
A)Reduced volumetric efficiency
B)Excessive motor amperage
C)Elevated discharge temperature✓
D)Increased compressor fouling
💡 Explanation
Elevated discharge temperature will occur because there is incomplete vaporisation; Latent Heat Transfer is reduced, therefore superheating increases rather than volumetric efficiency dropping. Compressor overheating causes eventual failure as temperatures rise.
