← TechnologyWhich risk increases significantly when dissolved gas content in hydraulic fluid falls below the cavitation limit?
A)Entrained air induced faster oxidation
B)Orifice erosion due vapor implosion✓
C)Viscosity breakdown causing overheating
D)Increased seal wear from fluid loss
💡 Explanation
Orifice erosion risks are heightened, because decreased dissolved gas enhances cavitation intensity from intensified *vapor implosion*, thus stressing surfaces far more than stable fluids; therefore erosion accelerates, rather than only gentle oxidation with gases.
