← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when a hydraulic circuit’s accumulator bladder ruptures during rapid actuator cycling?
A)Entrained gas causes pump cavitation✓
B)Increased fluid bulk modulus occurs
C)Viscosity index improvers precipitate
D)Valve spool locks hydrostatically
💡 Explanation
Increased dissolved gas leads to pump cavitation because rapid pressure drops reduce fluid's gas solubility, releasing gas bubbles which collapse violently near the pump inlet. This pitting is cavitation, therefore reduced pump lifespan rather than other hydraulic failings under high pressure conditions.
