🔍 Key Concepts

• Refrigeration compressor cycle – what suction and discharge valves are supposed to do each stroke • Effect of leaking discharge valves on actual delivered pressure/volume vs piston movement • How a system’s pressure control or thermostat responds when the compressor isn’t pumping efficiently

💭 Think About

• Visualize one cylinder: on the upstroke, if the discharge valve leaks, what happens to the gas that was just compressed? Does it stay in the discharge line or leak back? • If the compressor is doing a lot of mechanical work but not actually moving much refrigerant, how will the system’s temperature and pressure respond over time? • Which of the listed symptoms matches a machine that is "pumping but not effectively" rather than one that is totally stopped or over-pressurizing quickly?

✅ Before You Answer

• Compare inefficient pumping vs no pumping at all – which options describe a completely stopped compressor? • Ask yourself whether leaking discharge valves would realistically create high discharge pressure or prevent high pressure from being reached. • Think about how the control that starts and stops the compressor (pressure or temperature control) would react if the system takes a very long time to reach the set condition.
