← TechnologyWhich consequence results when a hydraulic relief valve fails, bypassing fluid?
A)System overpressure and potential rupture
B)Reduced actuator speed and inefficiency✓
C)Increased fluid viscosity and foaming
D)Elevated reservoir temperature and oxidation
💡 Explanation
Reduced actuator efficiency happens because bypass of hydraulic fluid alters its intended flow path, therefore reducing the amount of the fluid available for work at actuators, rather than overpressure which would involve a separate failure mitigation.
