Silicone TurboCharger Hoses
Silicon
turbocharger hoses are used in automobiles to withstand exhaust gases,
corrosive oils & elevated temperatures under the hood. The
construction of a turbo charger hose is determined depending upon the
service conditions of the hose.
Materials:
Turbo charger hoses
are made from silicone rubber and if there are highly corrosive oils,
coolants or vapors in contact an inner lining of 0.5mm thickness of
fluoro silicon rubber is recommended.
Reinforcement:
The reinforcing
fabric is usually polyester. However if the temperature and pressure
requirement is high aramid fabrics such as Nomex or Kevlar are used.
Design:
- Straight or Shaped hoses with smooth outer surface.
- Convoluted
Corrugated in shape. The number of convoluted depend on the length of
the hose. Stainless steel rings are fitted in the grooves on the outer
surface to give the hose additional pressure resistance.
