Question 189General Subjects - Assistant Engineer
70% to passCompensated flow control or constant flow valves are used in hydraulic systems to _______________.
Aassure constant fluid temperature
Ballow for changes in pressure and temperature within the system
Ccompensate for major leaks in the system
Dmaintain the original fluid viscosity
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) allow for changes in pressure and temperature within the system. Compensated flow control or constant flow valves are designed to maintain a constant flow rate in a hydraulic system, despite changes in pressure or temperature that could otherwise cause the flow rate to fluctuate. This helps ensure consistent and reliable operation of the hydraulic components, even as conditions in the system change. The other answer choices do not accurately describe the primary function of these types of valves.
