If liquid refrigerant enters the compressor cylinder while it's running, it can damage the compressor. Liquid refrigerant is not compressible like gas, causing hydraulic lock and putting excessive strain on the compressor motor. This can lead to mechanical failure and decreased efficiency of the refrigeration system.
If there is more refrigerant in the system than the condenser and receiver can hold, the excess refrigerant may cause overloading and damage to the compressor. Additionally, the excess refrigerant may lead to poor cooling performance and reduced efficiency of the system. It is important to ensure that the system is charged with the correct amount of refrigerant for optimal operation.
The refrigerant which was in the form of gas before entering the condenser, condenses (converts to liquid refrigerant) as a result of the gas being compressed. This condensation will release heat which is partly taken away by the function of the fan (the rotating blades) in order to prevent the compressor from overheating.
If the condenser fan is switched off while the compressor is running, the heat transfer process in the condenser will be disrupted. This can lead to the compressor overheating, reduced efficiency, and potentially a system failure due to high pressure build-up. It is important for both the compressor and condenser fan to operate properly for the air conditioning system to function effectively.
If there is more refrigerant in the system than the condenser and receiver can hold, it can lead to poor system performance, higher operating pressures, and potential damage to the components. Overcharging the system can result in decreased efficiency, compressor failure, and safety risks due to high pressure levels. It is essential to have the correct amount of refrigerant in the system to ensure optimal performance and prevent damage.
Compressor surges can happen when there is a line spike, during storms or when other equipment is plugged in on the same electrical line. An industrial surge protector can help eliminate power surges.
Probably the system is overcharged - too much refrigerant. Liquid refrigerant is boiling off as it enters the compressor inlet making it very cold. This can harm the compressor since liquid refrigerant is not compressable. It can also happen if the evaporator coil is blocked or plugged up with debris (on the air side).
The major components of a chiller unit include the compressor, condenser, evaporator, and expansion valve. The compressor is responsible for circulating the refrigerant through the system. The condenser releases heat from the refrigerant, causing it to condense into a liquid. The evaporator absorbs heat from the chilled water, causing the refrigerant to evaporate and cool the water. The expansion valve regulates the flow of refrigerant into the evaporator, controlling the cooling process.

O.K. You are asking for a lot in this question, but to answer your question GENERALLY I would say that in the majority of cases I see on a daily basis involving compressors and/or systems that 'will not accept a charge', the problem is a bad compressor suction valve plate. This is, of course, not the only possibility, but the most likely without further information and evaluation. Whenever a compressor has been run under duress for whatever reason, the compressor will suffer from excess heat, which can and does cause the valve plate(s) to fail. When this happen (on the suction side), the compressor will not 'pull' refrigerant in, which appears to be a 'blockage' to the novice. Of course, mechanical failure (number of miles/number of years on a vehicle) can also cause this. The absolute test, of course, is to have a professional shop introduce refrigerant with a charging cylinder, which does not rely on the compressor to 'pull' the refrigerant in (among other things), and once properly charged, the compressor can be tested and evaluated correctly. Good luck SDIgroup
There are multiple reasons this could happen. Refrigerant - not enough refrigerant (usually due to a leak in the system) or too much refrigerant. Components - a clog in the system, saturated desiccant in the accumulator or receiver-drier, clogged metering device (orifice tube or TXV), damaged fins on the accumulator, bad compressor or compressor clutch, bad low pressure switch. HVAC system - bad blower motor, blockage in the ducts, jammed blend door.
Liwuid refrigerant would make ist's way back to the compressor and may cause damage to the valves and alos will dilute the oil which causes bearing failure.

Adding too much refrigerant to a car's cooling system can lead to increased pressure, which may cause the compressor to overheat and fail. It can also result in poor cooling performance, as the system may not be able to effectively circulate the refrigerant. Additionally, excessive refrigerant can cause damage to various components, including hoses and seals, potentially leading to leaks. It's crucial to maintain the proper refrigerant level for optimal system performance.
The compressor will seize. They are very costly to replace.
