← TechnologyWhich outcome arises when thermal expansion seizes a spool valve controlling high-pressure hydraulic fluid?
A)Uncontrolled actuator movement due to bypassing✓
B)Pressure relief valve chatter from oscillations
C)Pump cavitation due to restricted inlet flow
D)Overheated reservoir from increased backpressure
💡 Explanation
When a spool valve seizes from thermal expansion, uncontrolled actuator movement results because the valve can no longer properly direct or block fluid flow, leading to uncontrolled bypassing. Therefore, actuator movement is the outcome rather than relief chatter, cavitation, or reservoir overheating, which require different initiating conditions.
