← ScienceWhich risk increases when throttling an industrial refrigeration cycle's evaporator?
A)Compressor overheating becomes likely✓
B)Refrigerant phase separation occurs
C)Glycol degradation is accelerated
D)Increased condenser fouling
💡 Explanation
Compressor overheating becomes a risk because throttling reduces the evaporator pressure; therefore, the compressor must work across a larger pressure ratio leading to higher discharge temperatures and thermal stress, rather than phase change issues or secondary fluid damage.
