An overcharged refrigeration system experiences excessive pressure, which can lead to reduced efficiency and cooling performance. This condition can cause compressor overload, increased energy consumption, and potential damage to system components. Additionally, it may result in refrigerant leaks or system failure if not addressed promptly. Proper maintenance and charge levels are crucial for optimal operation.
Requires instruments and knowledge of the refrigeration cycle. Casual observation of a system, won't allow you to properly determine if it's overcharged.
Overcharged system
pressure in a refrigeration system is changed in the
Did you add an oil charge to the system when you recharged it and did you recharge the system using refrigeration gauges. The system may be low on refrigerant oil or you could have overcharged the system causing the compressor to have to work too hard.
It can damage the compressor.

of course.
An evaporator in a refrigeration system works by passing warm air over it's coils.
Usually a blockage in the system. Could also be overcharged, or have air in the system.
When water is left in a refrigeration system, it can lead to several issues, including corrosion of metal components and the potential for mold and bacteria growth. The water may freeze during operation, causing blockages and damaging the system. Additionally, excess moisture can reduce the efficiency of the refrigerant and lead to poor cooling performance. Overall, it's important to maintain a dry environment within the refrigeration system to ensure optimal function and longevity.

Two problems that a refrigeration system could have are compressor problems or a lack of or loss of refrigerant gas.
