← TechnologyWhich occurrence results when a poppet valve sealing hydraulic actuator experiences excessive deceleration?
A)Hydraulic fluid temperature decreases
B)Valve seat cavitation accelerates erosion✓
C)Accumulator pressure becomes stabilized
D)System efficiency ratings experiences uplift
💡 Explanation
Valve seat cavitation accelerates erosion because amplified pressure differentials during rapid valve closure cause localized boiling called vaporous cavitation. Therefore erosion occurs at valve seat rather than stabilized accumulator pressure, because kinetic energy is converted to vapor pressure.
