Which outcome occurs when a proportional control valve experiences excessive hydraulic oil contamination?

💡 Explanation

When a proportional valve is contaminated, particulate matter interferes with the spool's precise movements, causing increased friction and stiction, influencing the hysteresis. Therefore hysteresis and deadband increase, rather than bulk modulus reduction, velocity increase or pump efficiency decrease which involves distinct mechanisms.
