← TechnologyWhich risk increases in a hydraulic system when an accumulator is improperly pre-charged with gas?
A)Reduced system response time
B)Increased hydraulic fluid temperature
C)Compromised flow rate consistency
D)Potential for gas pre-charge blow-by✓
💡 Explanation
When an accumulator's pre-charge is too low, significant hydraulic fluid compression occurs during charging, increasing the probability of pre-charge gas permeating or bypassing the accumulator bladder or piston seal. Therefore the risk of gas blow-by increases, rather than reduced response, increased temperature, which require alternative issues to be relevant within this setup.
