Question: A new hydraulic reservoir is being fabricated. To facilitate proper de-aeration of the hydraulic fluid, what internal feature is essential?

Answer options: ✅ A baffle plate separating the pump suction line from the return line.

  • A highly polished internal surface to reduce fluid friction.
  • An internally mounted heat exchanger for cooling.
  • A submerged, unrestricted filler neck.

Correct answer: A baffle plate separating the pump suction line from the return line.

Explanation: A baffle plate strategically placed within the reservoir is crucial. It directs the returning fluid along a longer path, allowing more time for air bubbles to escape to the surface and for contaminants to settle, preventing them from being immediately drawn back into the pump.
