← TechnologyWhich risk increases when refrigerant leaks cause decreased evaporator pressure?
A)Compressor lubricant boiling occurs✓
B)Higher condenser subcooling develops
C)Expansion valve superheat increases
D)System-side heat dissipation declines
💡 Explanation
Oil foaming can occur because reduced evaporator pressure lowers the refrigerant's boiling point, contaminating lubricant with boiled off volatile refrigerant fractions; therefore the oil boils off, rather than maintaining normal pressure and lubricant properties under higher normal evaporator pressures.
