← TechnologyWhich risk increases when a hydraulic relief valve experiences significant overshoot during rapid pressure spikes?
A)System-wide pressure surge amplification✓
B)Actuator stall from decreased flow
C)Pump cavitation due to increased load
D)Reservoir overheating increases oxidation
💡 Explanation
When a relief valve experiences overshoot, pressure wave propagation is amplified by sudden valve closure because it restricts fluid inertia, resulting in pressure surge. Therefore pressure surge amplification results, rather than actuator stall, pump cavitation or reservoir overheating, as these require different conditions.
