🔍 Key Concepts

• Effect of leaking discharge valves on compressor volumetric efficiency • How discharge gas can re-enter the cylinder during the suction stroke • Relationship between suction pressure and discharge pressure when compressor output is reduced

💭 Think About

• Visualize what happens inside the cylinder when the discharge valve does not close tightly as the piston moves down on the suction stroke. Where does some of the high‑pressure gas go? • If less refrigerant is actually being moved from the low side to the high side each stroke, what will happen to the low‑side (suction) pressure over time? What about the high‑side (discharge) pressure? • Compare this condition with leaking suction valves. Which one tends to let high‑side gas leak back to the low side, and how does that change the pressures?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on which direction gas leaks through a discharge valve vs a suction valve • Consider whether the condenser is still being cooled normally (water‑cooled condenser) or if the question mentions any condenser problem • Check if the condition would tend to equalize pressures or spread them farther apart between low and high sides.
