← TechnologyWhich method prevents cavitation in hydraulic actuator control valves?
A)Increasing fluid operating temperature
B)Employing valves with staged pressure reduction✓
C)Decreasing actuator piston diameter
D)Using lighter hydraulic fluid
💡 Explanation
When pressure drop across a valve is too high, cavitation occurs because fluid velocity increases significantly, leading to pressure reduction below vapor pressure, creating bubbles. Employing valves with staged pressure reduction minimizes this pressure drop. Therefore cavitation is avoided, rather than other options which have minimal effect or increase cavitation potential.
