Which risk increases in cryogenic pumps during sudden warm-up?

A)Vapor lock induced cavitation
B)Stator winding dielectric breakdown
C)Impeller mechanical stress reversal
D)Increased seal wear rate

💡 Explanation

Significant temperature gradients during rapid warm-up cause localized boiling of any remaining cryogenic fluid; this rapid phase transition results in vapor lock induced cavitation because decreased liquid density rapidly drops the Net Positive Suction Head available; therefore material erodes, rather than other electrical or mechanical risks being primary.
