Which adverse effect stems from hydraulic lock in a butterfly valve?

💡 Explanation

Increases in pressure on one side of the butterfly valve create a hydraulic lock; this lock increases the force needed for the valve actuation mechanism, because the control mechanism encounters resistance directly proportional to the differential pressure across the disc faces; this raises actuation force, rather than decrease flow.
