Thermal Hoses for Industrial Temperature Control
Thermal hoses are designed to effectively control and manage the temperature of your equipment. At Relevant Solutions we have a wide range of thermal hoses available to help manage the heat from your equipment. Thermal hoses can be used to cool and control temperatures of components.
Our Thermal hoses are made using high quality materials such as EPDM and Neoprene. They have great resistance to heat, chemicals and wear. Thermal hoses can be used for cooling your equipment whether it be high performance computing equipment, mobile or refrigeration.
Applications Of Thermal Hose
Thermal hoses can be used in a wide range of industries where temperature control is needed to keep your equipment running at optimum performance. Thermal hoses are designed to be durable and flexible. Some common applications include:
Automotive Engine Cooling
Thermal hoses can be used to transfer coolant reliably in automotive equipment. For other cooling applications please see our Engine & Coolant Hoses.
High Performance Cooling Systems
Thermal hoses can be used to transfer coolant fluids in equipment such as servers and data centres.
Industrial Refrigeration
Thermal hoses can be used in refrigeration systems using specialist hoses to transfer refrigerants.
Mobile Equipment
Thermal hoses can be used in liquid cooling systems for high performance machinery or vehicles.
Things to Consider When Choosing a Thermal Hose
When choosing a thermal hose you need to consider what conditions the hose will be exposed to. You need to make sure the hose is suitable for transferring the fluid, it can handle the temperatures and pressures in the line, fits in the space you have and connects to your equipment. This will help to reduce the risk of premature wear, leaking and disruption to your cooling.
Temperature and Pressure
Check what temperatures and pressures the hose will be exposed to. This should include normal operating conditions and any short-term increases. You should check the manufacturers published data for the exact hose and assembly you are using. Do not choose a hose based on the ambient temperature.
Compatibility with Fluid
Check that the hose material is compatible with the coolant/refrigerant or fluid you are transferring. We have EPDM and Neoprene available, but the correct choice will depend on the fluid you are transferring, concentration, temperature and exposure. Please check the product data.
Installation
Check the length of hose, bend radius, connection type and space available. Avoid tight bends, twisting, stretching and avoiding sharp edges and hot surfaces. Ensuring the hose is routed correctly will reduce stress to the hose and connections.
Choosing the Right Material For Thermal Hose
Thermal hoses should be chosen based on their ability to transfer the fluid and the conditions they will be exposed to. We have EPDM and Neoprene available but you should choose based on the manufacturers compatibility data and what the system will actually be exposed to.
If using for mobile or off-highway equipment you should consider vibration and movement. For data centre cooling or industrial refrigeration you should check the hose is approved for the coolant/refrigerant and pressure/temperature range.
Things to Check and Maintain Hose Performance
Checking your thermal hoses regularly can help to identify any issues. Check for leaking at the ends, cracking, blistering, stiffening, abrasion, crushing and rubbing against other equipment. Check the connections are secure and the hose isn’t twisted or sharply bent.
How often you should check your thermal hoses will depend on the application, conditions and manufacturers guidelines. If damage or a change in performance is noticed then follow our approved maintenance procedure and replace if needed. If your application requires a formal inspection then do not just visually inspect.
