← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when anti-sway control system rapidly closes a hydraulic stabilizer fin's directional valve?
A)Pressure surge damaging hydraulic lines✓
B)Fin overheating from increased friction
C)Actuator lockup due to valve stiction
D)Reduced roll damping from flow restriction
💡 Explanation
When the valve rapidly closes, fluid inertia causes pressure surge because of the sudden flow stoppage reflecting pressure peaks upstream, which weaken the hydraulic lines. Therefore, a surge results, rather than increased friction or flow restriction because the valve obstructs liquid inertia.
