🔍 Key Concepts

• Color changes in refrigeration compressor oil and what typically causes them • Effects of air (non‑condensables), moisture, and wear particles inside a refrigeration system • How metal wear, chemical breakdown, and oxidation show up visually in lubricating oil

💭 Think About

• Think about what specific chemical or physical process is most likely to actually turn oil black rather than just dark or cloudy • Consider which option involves a process that produces soot‑like or burnt by‑products that would strongly discolor the oil • Ask yourself which conditions (moisture, air, wear, or gasket damage) are more likely to change the color of the oil versus just contaminating it with particles

✅ Before You Answer

• Distinguish between mechanical wear (metal particles) versus chemical/thermal breakdown (burning, oxidation) and which gives a black color • Consider what happens when air or non‑condensable gases are left in a high‑pressure, high‑temperature refrigeration system • Review which condition is most associated with a burnt smell and very dark/black oil in compressor lubrication systems
