Improper refrigerant superheat in a compressor can lead to several detrimental consequences, impacting both the compressor's performance and its lifespan. Superheat refers to the temperature of the refrigerant vapor above its saturation temperature at the evaporator outlet before it enters the compressor. Low superheat, meaning the refrigerant vapor is too close to its saturation point, can result in liquid refrigerant entering the compressor. This liquid refrigerant can wash away the lubricating oil from the c....
