← TechnologyWhich risk increases when a refrigeration system experiences liquid floodback?
A)Compressor valve plate cracking✓
B)Expansion valve superheating
C)Evaporator coil ice buildup
D)Condenser subcooling reduction
💡 Explanation
Compressor valve plate cracking risk rises because liquid floodback introduces uncompressible liquid refrigerant into the compressor, leading to over-pressure exceeding design limits. Therefore, the valve plate cracks, rather than expansion valve issues, which relate to proper boiling.
