← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when hydraulic fluid warms excessively?
A)Reduced system response time✓
B)Increased component structural strength
C)Pressure relief valve setpoint increase
D)Improved pump cavitation performance
💡 Explanation
Warming decreases a hydraulic fluid’s viscosity; this *viscosity reduction* lowers friction and resistance to flow. Because response time depends on reaching actuator pressure, the decreased viscosity reduces the system response; therefore the system becomes more spongy, because loss of energy occurs rather than transmitting pressure effectively.
