← TechnologyWhich risk increases when the swash plate angle controller in an axial piston pump dithers excessively?
A)Reduced overall pump efficiency✓
B)Increased fluid bulk modulus
C)Decreased system thermal stability
D)Higher servo valve responsiveness
💡 Explanation
Excessive swash plate dither introduces unnecessary flow variations, causing the `leakage amplification` within the pump. Therefore, the pump's energy efficiency is decreased, because the wasted fluid takes energy and creates heat, rather than contributing to the output; rather than increasing bulk modulus.
