← TechnologyWhich hazard arises in a hydraulic system when an undersized accumulator tries to compensate for rapid actuator demands?
A)Pump cavitation and component erosion✓
B)Reduced bulk modulus, slower response
C)Thermal runaway, fluid viscosity drop
D)Increased backpressure, circuit instability
💡 Explanation
Rapid actuator demands overcome a small accumulator's capacity, stressing the pump, causing the pump cavitation mechanism, where fluid vaporizes at low pressure creating damaging implosions; therefore erosion increases, rather than smoother pressure regulation, leading to other issues.
