← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when fluid viscosity increases excessively in hydraulic directional control valve?
A)Increased valve spool response time
B)Valve stiction due to increased friction✓
C)Reduced system noise and vibration
D)Decreased energy losses from fluid flow
💡 Explanation
When viscosity increases, fluid friction inside the valve increases substantially because viscous forces are directly proportional to viscosity, causing the spool to resist movement. Therefore valve stiction results, rather than rapid response, noise reduction, or decreased losses which depend on lower viscosity.
