🔍 Key Concepts

• Refrigeration system diagnostics when a compressor crankcase is sweating or frosting • Relationship between evaporator superheat, liquid refrigerant return, and compressor crankcase condition • Why adding refrigerant, adding oil, or opening an expansion valve might make flooding/icing problems better or worse

💭 Think About

• What does heavy sweating or frosting on the compressor crankcase usually indicate about the state (liquid vs vapor) and temperature of refrigerant returning to the compressor? • Which action would help ensure that only superheated vapor (not liquid refrigerant) is returning to the compressor? • Which options, if done incorrectly, could actually increase liquid floodback to the compressor and make sweating/frosting and noise worse?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which choice is directly related to controlling superheat at the evaporator outlet. • Consider whether adding refrigerant or opening a valve would tend to send more liquid refrigerant toward the compressor. • Ask yourself which adjustment is a standard corrective step when a compressor is noisy and the crankcase is frosting from possible liquid floodback.
