Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hose, in particular for refrigerant at turns.
  • the hose is particularly suitable as a pressure carrier hose for refrigerant lines, in particular for CO 2 , for use as a pressure carrier for corrugated pipes.
  • Refrigerant hoses that are installed in air conditioning systems for the automotive industry are usually filled with fluorocarbons as refrigerants. When released into the atmosphere, this type of refrigerant has a negative impact on the Elm world, for example in the form of acid rain or the greenhouse effect. CO 2 is a more environmentally friendly refrigerant. Due to its molecular size and its physicochemical properties, however, it poses new requirements and challenges for the air conditioning system, which, among other things, have to be met or solved by new hose systems.
  • Hoses that are used for conventional refrigerants usually consist of three different layers: an inner layer, a reinforcement layer and an outer layer, whereby the outer layer and the inner layer are usually made of an elastomeric material and the inner layer is often multi-layered, plus one layer made of a thermoplastic material, which significantly improves the barrier properties of the hose with regard to refrigerant loss, but at the same time worsens the flexibility of the hose.
  • EPDM, EPM, BIMS, BIIR, CIIR, IIR, CM, AEM, ACM, CR, NBR, HNBR alone or in combination can be used as elastomers for the inner layer and / or the outer layer.
  • the reinforcement layer usually consists of organic fiber systems such as polyester, polyamide, rayon, aramid or PVOH yarn and is usually in braided or spiraled, ie wound form.
  • thermoplastic layer of the inner layer can either be inside the tube (veneer tube also, see FIGS. 1 and 2) or it can be embedded as a barrier layer between two further layers of the inner layer (barrier tube also, see FIGS. 3 and 4).
  • Polyamides have proven to be useful as a material for the barrier layer. Impact modified PA.6 grades in particular are nowadays used for air conditioning hose production due to their good compromise between flexibility and barrier function.
  • the aforementioned hose structure must be redesigned for use with CO2 as a refrigerant.
  • the high pressure side in particular places increased demands on the refrigerant line and the associated hose systems due to peak temperatures of approx. 180 ° C and pressures of around 90 bar.
  • the present invention has the task of providing a suitable hose construction with the appropriate materials, which is designed to increase the inner diameter by compressing the hose in order to mount a corrugated pipe if necessary, which at the end of the entire hose concept provides the necessary flexibility and barrier function gives corresponding temperature and pressure load.
  • an innermost layer A4 which is composed of thermoplastic material or thermoplastic elastomer material
  • outer layer C which is composed of polymer material.
  • the innermost layer A4 can also be referred to here as a film. Surprisingly, it has been shown that the innermost layer, in addition to serving as an assembly aid for the corrugated pipe integration, gives the entire hose system, ie including the corrugated pipe, sufficient stability under impulse loads to maintain the function of the entire system in terms of tightness. At the same time, the material of the innermost layer can have sufficient flexibility in order not to form any cracks during pressing and under mechanical stress, as well as the necessary temperature requirements in order not to lose the properties just mentioned in the long term.
  • the hose according to the invention is particularly suitable for use as a pressure carrier hose for refrigerant lines, in particular with CO 2 as the refrigerant.
  • a corrugated pipe through which the refrigerant is to flow is introduced into the hose according to the invention.
  • the term "in this order” refers to an inside-out order of the hose.
  • the innermost layer generally forms the innermost layer of the hose.
  • the inner layer is applied to the innermost layer, i.e. the inner layer is in particular in direct proximity to or in contact with the innermost layer.
  • the innermost layer and the inner layer together form the inner layer of the hose, which can optionally comprise one or more further layers between the inner layer and the reinforcement layer, but this is not preferred.
  • the hose has an innermost layer as the innermost layer, which is composed of thermoplastic material or thermoplastic elastomer material.
  • the thermoplastic material comprises or consists of one or more thermoplastics.
  • the thermoplastic elastomer material comprises or consists of one or more thermoplastic elastomers.
  • the thermoplastics or thermoplastic elastomers used are preferably flexible and heat-resistant.
  • the innermost layer can optionally contain one or more additives, such as fillers or Stabilizers, contain, the total proportion of additives preferably not more than 10% by weight, more preferably not more than 5% by weight, of the innermost layer.
  • the innermost layer is in particular a thermoplastic layer or a thermoplastic and elastomeric layer.
  • thermoplastic copolyester elastomer has proven to be a particularly suitable material for the innermost layer.
  • one or more of the following materials can be considered as thermoplastic material or thermoplastic elastomer material of the innermost layer: polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polymethylpentene (PMP), thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), Polyamide, such as PA6, PA66, PA11, PA12, PA46, PA610, PA9T, PA6T, fluoropolymer or silicone polymer.
  • the thermoplastic material or thermoplastic elastomer material of the innermost layer therefore preferably contains or consists of at least one thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), polyamide, fluoropolymer, silicone polymer or a combination thereof, with TPE or polyamide being preferred.
  • TPE thermoplastic elastomer
  • the polyamide is preferably polyolefin-modified polyamide or elastomer-modified polyamide. If the material contains or consists of TPE, it is in particular a thermoplastic elastomer material.
  • the thermoplastic material or thermoplastic elastomer material of the innermost layer contains or consists of thermoplastic copolyester elastomer (TPC).
  • TPC thermoplastic copolyester elastomer
  • the TPC can be a bond-modified TPC, which is understood to mean a TPC which has been modified for better chemical bonding to an adjacent layer. Such a modification of TPC can take place by incorporating additional reactive groups into the TPC polymer.
  • An example of a bond-modified TPC is a maleic anhydride grafted TPC.
  • the innermost layer preferably has a wall thickness in the range from 0.05 to 0.6 mm, more preferably from 0.08 to 0.15 mm, a wall thickness of about 0.1 mm being particularly preferred.
  • the hose according to the invention also has an inner layer which is applied to the innermost layer and is made up of an elastomer material.
  • the elastomer material comprises or consists of one or more elastomers.
  • the inner layer can optionally contain one or more additives, such as fillers or stabilizers, the total amount of additives being dependent on the type of mixture used. When using AEM as an elastomer material, the total amount of additives can, for example, preferably not exceed 60% by weight, more preferably not more than 50% by weight, of the inner layer.
  • the inner layer is located between the innermost layer and the at least one reinforcement.
  • the inner layer is in particular an elastomeric layer.
  • the elastomer material of the inner layer contains ethylene-acrylate rubber (AEM), acrylate rubber (ACM), fluorine rubber (FPM), ethylene-propylene-diene rubber (EPDM), ethylene-propylene rubber (EPM) , hydrogenated acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (HNBR), brominated copolymer of isobutylene and paramethyl styrene (BIMS), ethylene vinyl acetate rubber (EVM), silicone rubber (VMQ) or blends thereof or blends with other elastomers, or consists of them.
  • the elastomer material particularly preferably contains AEM, in particular diamine crosslinked AEM, or consists of it.
  • the inner layer is preferably in extruded form.
  • the inner layer preferably has a thickness in the range from 0.5 to 2.5 mm, more preferably from 1 to 1.5 mm.
  • the hose according to the invention also contains one, two or more reinforcement layers, one or two reinforcement layers being preferred.
  • the reinforcement (s) in the reinforcement layer (s) are arranged at an angle which is smaller than the neutral angle of 54.7 °, the angle being preferred in the range from 15 to 53.6 °, preferably from 30 to 37 °, in particular from about 34 to 35 °.
  • this angle of the reinforcement relates to the acute angle that results between the thread orientation of the reinforcement and the longitudinal axis of the hose.
  • the neutral angle (54.7 °) or neutral angle of the reinforcement is the angle at which the hose remains dimensionally stable under pressure. If the angle is smaller than the neutral angle, the hose diameter increases under pressure load, while if the angle is larger than the neutral angle, the hose diameter decreases under pressure load.
  • the reinforcement is usually in the form of thread, yarn, fiber, cord or wire.
  • the reinforcement layer is usually applied by braiding or spiraling (coiling) the reinforcement, preferably on the inner layer.
  • the reinforcement is therefore preferably in a braided or spiraled, i.e. wound form.
  • Metal wire such as p-aramid or m-aramid, polyamides, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) or combinations of the above in the form of hybrid systems are preferred as the material for the reinforcement
  • Reinforcement is preferably yarn, threads or fibers.
  • the reinforcement is preferably formed from metal wire, steel wire being particularly preferred.
  • one or two, preferably one, reinforcement layers can be arranged.
  • one or two, preferably two, reinforcement layers can be arranged.
  • two reinforcement layers are generally used, which can be the same or different from one another.
  • the at least one reinforcement layer comprises or are two reinforcement layers, there is preferably an intermediate layer between the two two reinforcement layers, which is preferably composed of elastomer material, with the two reinforcement layers are preferably spiralized or wound reinforcement layers.
  • the intermediate layer is preferably made up of an elastomer material.
  • the elastomer material comprises or consists of one or more elastomers.
