← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when anti-surge valve rapidly cycles in a centrifugal compressor system?
A)Compressor discharge temperature increases
B)Bearing damage due to induced vibrations✓
C)System efficiency improves momentarily
D)Actuator life is extended indefinitely
💡 Explanation
When an anti-surge valve cycles rapidly, induced mechanical vibrations intensify because the valve constantly adjusts to pressure fluctuations, leading to excessive vibration transfer to the compressor bearings. Therefore bearing damage results, rather than temperature increase which requires high load, efficiency increase which is implausible, or actuator extension which contradicts expected wear.
