← TechnologyWhich symptom indicates that a newly installed scroll compressor in an air-source heat pump is experiencing liquid floodback?
A)Excessive superheat measured at evaporator outlet
B)Unusually high discharge line temperatures
C)Rapid cycling of the thermal expansion valve
D)Significantly elevated compressor crankcase temperature✓
💡 Explanation
When liquid floodback occurs, refrigerant doesn't fully evaporate. Compressor crankcase temperature is elevated because the cold liquid refrigerant absorbs heat, raising its temperature. Therefore, a high crankcase temperature indicates floodback rather than superheat, high discharge, or valve issues, each having distinct causes related to different operational faults.
