Which risk increases when diaphragm pump check valves partially fail during the discharge stroke?

A)Suction line hammering from backflow surge
B)Premature diaphragm failure from overpressure
C)Increased energy consumption from cavitation
D)Erosion of pump housing from turbulent flow

💡 Explanation

When check valves partially fail, backflow occurs because the sealing is compromised, causing a pressure surge in the suction line when the pump cycles. Therefore suction line hammering results,rather than diaphragm failure,increased energy consumption, or erosion, requiring independent mechanisms for their occurrence.
