Charge air hoses for machines, plants and automotive engineering
Charge air hoses in passenger cars and other vehicles are usually also referred to as pressure or turbo hoses. They are located in machines, systems and especially in vehicles with turbocharging systems and ensure their air supply. In this process, the air behind the intake manifold, in the turbocharging system or turbocharger, is compressed so that the oxygen content in the fuel-air mixture is significantly increased. This builds up increased pressure and temperature, which means that only special charge air hoses may be installed. The increased oxygen content also saves fuel while efficiently boosting engine performance. Due to the heavy daily load in the form of high temperatures, strong vibrations, mechanical stresses and high pressure, high-quality materials must be processed. To ensure this, we design your charge air hoses according to the requirements in your system. On the one hand, this can be a reinforced material in the form of a silicone with increased Shore hardness or the insertion of a charge air tube. On the other hand, the charge air hoses are individually manufactured and can thus be installed in complex geometries, resulting in an increased service life.
Do you need an individual charge air hose or a charge air hose as a system solution for your machines, plants or vehicles? Then book your personal and non-binding initial consultation with our experts here now. Let us advise you and discuss your individual hose solution today.
The high loads on the charge air hoses lead to wear of the material and thus to material fatigue. Material fatigue can be identified by a loud whistling noise caused by cracks or holes. In addition, performance is reduced and fuel consumption is increased because the original function of the charge air hose is limited or no longer available. If material fatigue occurs on your machines, equipment or vehicles, we offer a wide range of high-quality standard products in our online store.
Power and performance of NovaNox® charge air hoses
Charge air hoses from NovaNox® are usually made of high-quality tested VMQ (silicone rubber) or EPDM (ethylene propylene diene rubber). They are particularly characterized by their permanent temperature resistance from -50°C to +180°C (briefly up to +220°C). For much higher temperature requirements, NovaNox® high-performance silicone is used. This material can also withstand permanent temperature peaks of +250°C. They are also resistant to chemicals, alkalis and acids. High resistance to aging and weathering round off the requirement profile of a robust charge air hose. Another quality feature of NovaNox® charge air hoses is their elasticity. This means that constant engine vibrations, braking and pulling movements can be compensated for effortlessly. Thanks to their lightweight properties, NovaNox® charge air hoses also offer significant weight savings.
Charge air hose development
We manufacture robust charge air hoses using mandrel molds. High-quality silicone and fabric inserts are applied overlapping via the tool and vulcanized. Vulcanization permanently cross-links all materials. This results in a dimensionally stable and, above all, tight charge air hose unit. Nothing penetrates the charge air hose from the outside, nor can anything escape from the charge air hose. This means that aggressive media can be transported safely from A to B, even under permanent pressure and temperature requirements. We design our own tools on the basis of the customer-specific installation situation. This enables us to realize complex and customized charge air hoses as molded hoses. The plus in effective use of installation space. In addition, our own tooling process offers significant cost advantages and fast throughput times.
Structure charge air hose
