← TechnologyWhich operational risk increases within bypass control valves when fluid viscosity rapidly decreases?
A)Increased valve seat cavitation damage✓
B)Accelerated thermal expansion of housing
C)Reduced electromagnetic flow impedance
D)Decreased poppet valve response time
💡 Explanation
Valve seat cavitation increases due to vapor bubble formation from the reduced static pressures and turbulent fluid flow, because decreased liquid viscosity lowers the threshold for vaporisation; therefore, material erosion rises, rather than expansion/impedance/response deviations which are less immediate concerns.
