← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when hydraulic control spool valve clearance increases?
A)Reduced damping of cylinder oscillations✓
B)System pressure immediately becomes elevated
C)Actuator output speed stabilises quickly
D)Improved thermal efficiency of engine
💡 Explanation
Increased valve clearance reduces damping due to increased internal Leakage. The **pressure gain** thus worsens, which leads to reduced damping of cylinder oscillations because hydraulic resistance decreases, therefore oscillations increase rather than the stable condition created by effective damping at nominal settings.
