← ScienceWhich risk increases when a chiller using R-134a reaches low suction pressure?
A)Compressor motor winding overheating✓
B)Expansion valve flow reduction
C)Condenser water pump cavitation
D)Chilled water coil tube corrosion
💡 Explanation
If suction pressure is too low, the superheated refrigerant entering the compressor will be excessively hot because R-134a temperature depends strongly on phase. This will cause the compressor motor winding overheating, therefore increased thermal stress and insulation breakdown, rather than less likely flow reductions and tube faults which depend on separate issues.
