Which outcome reduces hydrostatic pump efficiency when the accumulator discharge restriction increases beyond design limits?

💡 Explanation

Increased restriction lowers local pressure, encouraging fluid vaporization and thus dynamic cavitation, because the fluid cannot fill the expanding volume; therefore, efficiency decreases due to the fluid phase change, rather than solely from component wear or higher bulk oil temperatures.
