Which risk increases when a refrigeration system loses refrigerant?

💡 Explanation

Compressor overheating increases because mass flow is reduced. The refrigerant absorbs heat, and without adequate flow, the motor will overheat due to reduced heat removal. Thermal runaway is therefore more likely, rather than physical damage, given lubricant interactions.
