← TechnologyWhich consequence results when improperly tuned anti-cavitation valves close?
A)Intense hydraulic system pressure spikes✓
B)Increased motor thermal fatigue cycling
C)Elevated fluid oxidation reaction rates
D)Progressive actuator seal material drying
💡 Explanation
Closing anti-cavitation valves too rapidly causes intense pressure spikes in the hydraulic fluid due to the water hammer effect. This occurs because the fluid's momentum is abruptly halted by the valve closure, therefore pressures sharply increase, rather than dissipating gradually through controlled deceleration.
