← TechnologyWhich consequence results downstream when an accumulator diaphragm fails?
A)Pressure pulses damage valve seats✓
B)Increased fluid bulk modulus occurs
C)Reduced system operating temperature
D)Improved pump suction characteristics
💡 Explanation
Pressure pulses damage valve seats because diaphragm failure eliminates accumulator damping, leading to pressure spikes due to fluid compressibility exciting resonant modes of the hydraulic lines. Therefore valves deteriorate faster rather than operating normally at average system pressure.
