← TechnologyWhich risk is amplified when a bladder accumulator in a hydraulic surge suppression system experiences rapid depressurization?
A)Water hammer effect intensification✓
B)Reduced pump cavitation susceptibility
C)Increased fluid bulk modulus stability
D)Dampened pressure oscillation amplitudes
💡 Explanation
The water hammer is amplified because rapid depressurization causes sudden flow changes, thus pressure wave amplification is enabled by fluid inertia rather than gradual dampening. Therefore, intensification occurs; rather than the dampened oscillation.
