In a hydraulic elevator with a proportional control valve, which consequence results when rapid valve closure occurs?

💡 Explanation

Rapid valve closure induces fluid hammer, because the fluid's inertia causes a pressure spike as it is suddenly stopped by the valve. Therefore, a pressure surge occurs, rather than smooth deceleration, which requires gradual actuation controlled to prevent sharp pressure changes.
