Hoses
Hoses are divided into two main categories: high-pressure and low-pressure. However, several subcategories are included based on the material they transport (oil, water, petroleum, air, chemicals, etc.), the circuit pressure, and the temperature.
Hoses are the primary means of transporting any material as they are quite flexible and easy to install.
A hose is manufactured based on the needs of each circuit to ensure proper and smooth movement within it. It's important to pay attention to size, ends, and the type that will be used to avoid unpleasant consequences such as:
-
In the case of choosing a smaller diameter, it increases the pressure and temperature within the circuit, resulting in unwanted material leaks, wear, or even damage to system components.
-
In the case of choosing a larger diameter, it unnecessarily increases the construction cost.
-
An incorrect end might prevent the connection between the hose and component, causing leaks or damage between them.
-
If the length of the elastic hose is longer, it may occupy more space and cause friction with other parts of the system.
-
If the length of the elastic hose is shorter, the connection may not be established, and even if achieved, it may have a shorter lifespan due to excessive stretching.
-
The wrong type of hose adversely affects partial or total destruction.
For all the above reasons, the advice of an experienced and specialized technician is necessary.
