Hi
This is kind of a newbie question.
Say you have a vapor compression cycle, like the one used in automotive air conditioning.
The compressor is at variable speed, whitin itīs working limits, and heat is flowing from hot to cold, thus changing the refrigerant's phase inside the evaporator.
Once the room being conditioned, is at a temperature that can't go any lower (because of the compressor, an heat exchangers' capacity), what happens if the compressor keeps working?
There is no more heat exchange......so, what happens with the refrigeran? it doesn't boil inside the evaporator anymore? Does the compressor take it in as liquid? is it harmful for the system?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
