Which risk increases dramatically when a hydraulic pump experiences sustained back pressure and aeration?

A)Impeller pitting from intense cavitation
B)Thermal runaway in pump motor
C)Fluid oxidation accelerates dramatically
D)Seal degradation rates diminish notably

💡 Explanation

Sustained back pressure with aeration can cause intense, localized implosions from cavitation. The entrained air bubbles collapse violently near internal pump surfaces due to the pressure differences, therefore accelerating surface erosion rather than other thermal or degradation effects because the impact energy is focused.
