← TechnologyWhich risk increases when an HVAC refrigerant pump operates below minimum superheat?
A)Contaminant oil degradation accelerates rapidly
B)Vapour cavitation erodes the impeller✓
C)System COP efficiency is severely reduced
D)Compressor surge damages blades randomly
💡 Explanation
Vapor cavitation erodes the impeller because at low superheat, liquid refrigerant partially vaporizes in the pump decreasing pressure, leading to bubble formation and collapse. Therefore, pump damage increases rather than oil or COP issues arising, as pump damage is primary at minimum superheat conditions.
