What could result from excessive compressor cycling?

Excessive compressor cycling can lead to lower efficiency in the refrigeration or air conditioning system. When a compressor turns on and off frequently, it does not run long enough to reach optimal operating conditions. This results in inefficient heat exchange, causing the system to work harder to maintain the desired temperature. Moreover, the constant starting and stopping can lead to energy wastage, as the system consumes more power during startup compared to continuous operation.

In addition to lower efficiency, excessive cycling can negatively affect other system components, leading to increased wear and tear and potentially shorter system lifespan overall. Efficient operation is crucial for maintaining balanced energy consumption and optimal performance, and frequent cycling disrupts this balance.
