What is a car hose
Automobile water pipe is an important part of the automobile cooling system, the main role is to transfer the coolant, to assist the coolant to heat the engine, so as to maintain the normal working temperature of the engine. The water pipe transports the coolant and carries the heat generated by engine operation to the water tank for heat dissipation to ensure that the engine does not overheat.
Variety and function
There are many types of automotive water pipes, mainly including:
Water inlet pipe : connects the engine water pump with the engine water channel to provide the coolant circulation flow channel for the engine.
outlet pipe : connect the engine water channel with the radiator, export the coolant from the engine, and cool it through the radiator.
warm air hose : connects the radiator to the warm air water tank in the cab to provide warm air for the cab.
material
Automotive water pipes are mainly made of the following materials:
Plastics : such as nylon, polyester, etc., have good corrosion resistance, portability and cost effectiveness.
metal : such as copper, steel, aluminum, etc., with high durability and pressure bearing capacity.
rubber : used for part of the joint, has good flexibility and sealing performance.
Maintenance and FAQs
If the water pipe leakage or blockage and other problems, it will affect the normal work of the cooling system, and even lead to engine damage. Therefore, it is very important to check and maintain the state of the water pipe regularly.
The main causes of burst water pipes in cars include the following :
Water pipe aging : Long time use will lead to water pipe quality and durability weakened, easy to burst. It is recommended to periodically check and replace aging water pipes.
Insufficient water tank coolant : Insufficient water tank coolant will increase the pressure of the water tank, which will cause the water pipe to burst. Ensuring adequate coolant is an important measure to prevent pipe bursts.
Fouling and scale accumulation : Dirty external or internal water tank may affect heat dissipation and increase the risk of pipe burst. Regular cleaning of the tank is a necessary maintenance work.
fan problem : The fan fails to open completely or does not work properly, which affects heat dissipation and increases the possibility of water pipe burst.
High temperature and pressure : If the high temperature and pressure generated by the engine during operation exceed the bearing range of the water pipe, the water pipe will burst.
External impact : A collision or other external force may cause the water pipe to break.
poor coolant quality : Impurities or poor quality in the coolant will form scale, corrosion of water pipes, and increase the risk of bursting.
Large temperature variation : Sudden temperature changes will cause thermal expansion and cold contraction, increasing the risk of water pipe rupture.
Improper maintenance : Improper maintenance of the cooling system can affect the quality and performance of the coolant and increase the risk of water pipe bursts.
Preventive measures :
Regularly inspect and replace aging water pipes to ensure their quality and durability.
Keep coolant plentiful , check regularly and add coolant.
Clean the water tank and scale to maintain a good heat dissipation effect.
Check the working status of the fan to ensure its normal operation.
Pay attention to temperature changes and avoid sharp temperature fluctuations.
Avoid external impact , pay attention to the distance between front and rear when parking, to avoid collision.
Maintain the cooling system regularly to ensure its good performance.
