← TechnologyWhich consequence results when a hydraulic system check valve vibrates?
A)Premature O-ring seal degradation✓
B)Increased fluid bulk modulus
C)Enhanced heat transfer coefficient
D)Reduced boundary layer separation
💡 Explanation
Hydraulic check valve vibration induces fretting wear at sealing surfaces, causing premature O-ring degradation because the repeated micro-movements break down the elastomeric material via surface fatigue; therefore the seal fails, rather than fluid property changes or improved flow.
