← TechnologyWhich 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.
