1、 Maintenance
Be sure to check the rubber hose components in use for leaks, bends, wear, corrosion, or other signs of damage. If the components are worn or damaged, they should be replaced immediately.
2、 Cleaning
Use clean compressed air to blow off the rubber hose. If the pipeline is compatible with oil, it can be cleaned with mineral oil; Otherwise, hot water with a temperature not exceeding 150 ° F should be used for cleaning.
3、 Check
Check the interior of the hose components for cutting or bulging, blockage, and cleanliness. For combination joints, the rubber hose should be docked with the shoulder of the joint tail core, and the clamps and retaining rings should be installed correctly and securely, with appropriate spacing between each part. Check if the gap between the nut and the sleeve or between the hexagonal parts and the sleeve is correct. The nut should be able to rotate freely, and plastic covers should be placed on both ends of the hose to keep it clean.
4、 Acceptance Test - Hydraulic
The hose assembly should undergo hydraulic testing at twice the recommended working pressure, and the test pressure should be maintained for 30 seconds to 1 minute. When the test pressure is reached, the rubber hose assembly should be visually inspected for signs of leakage or performance degradation; 2. Whether there is any movement of the joint relative to the hose, such defects will result in non-compliance.
5、 Acceptance Testing - Pneumatic
Rubber hose components used in gas or air applications should be tested with 10 pounds per square inch of air or nitrogen and immersed in water. When the component starts to be pressurized, occasional bubbles may appear in the hose and joint, which is not considered a defect. However, if bubbles continue to appear at a stable speed in a specific area, the component should be considered unqualified.
6、 Exposed condensate and outlet pipes may cause:
1. Due to the loss of the binding protection of the external bandage, the water outlet pipeline directly contacts the outside world, causing it to become brittle and fall off, losing its function of exporting water.
2. The refrigerant pipe lacks insulation protection, which reduces the efficiency of the air conditioner and directly leads to a rapid increase in electricity bills.
3. In complex environments, connecting wires may break, making replacement quite cumbersome.
Spiral protective covers of various colors are used to wrap indoor air conditioning pipes and can also have a good decorative effect. The spiral protective cover has good elasticity and tension, and is wear-resistant and sun resistant. It can completely cover the air conditioning ducts, isolate external damage, extend the service life of air conditioning refrigerant pipes, etc., and the installation is also simple and convenient.
