Causes of Cavitation and Aeration
Causes of Cavitation Causes of Aeration
1. Clogged or restricted strainer 1. Low reservoir fluid level
2. High fluid viscosity 2. Defective pump shaft seal
3. Low fluid temperature 3. Return line above fluid level
4. Clogged reservoir breather 4. Improper baffling in the reservoir
5. Pump inlet line too small 5. Loose fitting on pump inlet line
6. Pump too far above reservoir 6. Defective seal on pump inlet line
7. Pump too far from reservoir 7. Incorrect reservoir design
8. Excessive pump RPM 8. Porous hose on pump inlet line
9. Too many bends in pump inlet line
10. Collapsed hose on pump inlet line
11. Restriction on pump inlet line
12. Failure of supercharge pump
