← TechnologyWhich risk increases when an axial piston pump experiences significant internal leakage across its pistons?
A)Reduced volumetric efficiency at higher pressures✓
B)Increased cavitation risk due to lower flow
C)Pump seizure related to higher fluid viscosity
D)Excessive noise due to fluid momentum increase
💡 Explanation
When internal leakage increases, volumetric efficiency declines because a portion of the fluid meant for work bypasses the intended compression and delivery path, especially as pressure rises. Therefore, reduced efficiency at higher pressures occurs, rather than cavitation, seizure, or noise which depend on separate failure conditions.
