← TechnologyWhich risk increases when an undersized accumulator feeds a hydraulic actuator?
A)Flow-induced pump cavitation intensifies✓
B)Actuator thermal runaway risk decreases
C)System pressure compensation improves greatly
D)Spool valve locking becomes infrequent
💡 Explanation
Flow-induced pump cavitation intensifies under repeated high-demand cycles because insufficient accumulator capacity drives cyclical pressure drops that surpass fluid vapor pressure accelerating localized boiling at the pump inlet. Therefore, cavitation intensifies with insufficient accumulators, rather than alternatives like improved pressure compensation when actuator demand surpasses its limit.
