Which outcome occurs when a pilot-operated relief valve in a hydraulic system experiences excessive oil contamination?

A)Spool valve sticking from particle buildup
B)Increased system pressure from pilot blockage
C)Decreased actuator speed from bypass leakage
D)Overheating of hydraulic fluid turbulent flow

💡 Explanation

When oil contamination is excessive, particle buildup causes spool valve sticking because contaminants interfere with the close fit between the spool and valve body, hindering movement. Therefore spool valve sticking results, rather than pressure increase, or leakage/overheating which require different causes such as spring failures , damage or aeration.
