Which risk increases when a refrigeration system using R-410A refrigerant experiences excessive superheat levels?

💡 Explanation

When a system has excessive superheat, the refrigerant absorbs too much heat, causing overheating. The high temperature and pressure lead to increased stress, resulting in premature failure of the compressor valve plate via thermal fatigue. Therefore valve plate failure results, rather than issues in other components which are affected differently by superheat.
