Hoses used in vehicles are designed to withstand high resistance to chemicals, heat, cold, and pressure. For instance, hydraulic hoses are made from elastic and composite plastics.
High-pressure hoses are not only used in the automotive industry but also in other industries dealing with high-pressure hot water. These hoses are produced by companies specializing in polymer, composite, and rubber materials in various sizes. The materials used in these components must be of high quality and durability as they are always under pressure.
Golden Union Asia’s hoses are manufactured with the highest quality and performance using the best materials that have high resistance to pressure and heat.
The upper radiator hose is one of the essential components of the vehicle’s cooling system. This part is located at the top of the radiator and is made from a composite of polyester and rubber fibers.
Mechanism of the Upper and Lower Radiator Hoses:
This part connects the vehicle’s engine on one side and the radiator on the other. It acts as a conduit or intermediary, directing the coolant liquid from the engine to the radiator. As the coolant temperature rises, heat and pressure increase. This component is made of rubber and must be highly resistant to pressure and heat. Another important aspect is that it should not crack or tear due to heat and pressure. After replacing this part, it is essential to check the coolant level in the vehicle’s cooling system.
Signs of a Faulty Upper and Lower Radiator Hose:
Cracking on the exterior is a sign of a defective component. The more cracks and deeper they are, the more brittle and worn out the part is, indicating the need for replacement as soon as possible.
Uneven swelling or bulging on the surface is another sign of failure.
Peeling or flaking, commonly referred to as delamination, is another indicator of deterioration in rubber components, including this part.
Effects of a Faulty Upper and Lower Radiator Hose:
- The most noticeable effect of a faulty hose is a decrease in the radiator water level, which can cause overheating of wires (wiring and cables) and ultimately damage them.
- In cases where the water level drops significantly, it can lead to the burning of the cylinder head.
Causes of a Faulty Upper and Lower Radiator Hose:
- One cause of damage to this part is impacts on the front sections of the vehicle.
- Another cause is the use of non-standard antifreeze and coolant fluids.
How to Determine the Quality of Hoses:
- If the component is made from high-quality raw materials, its surface should be smooth and clear. Conversely, if produced from standard materials, it will lack clarity and appear dull.
- Another indicator of quality is the absence of blemishes and surface irregularities.
Lifespan of Vehicle Hoses:
The lifespan of this part depends on the quality of materials used in its design and production. If high-quality raw materials are used, the lifespan is typically around four years. However, if average materials are used, the useful life is about one year.
The hose is a critical and sensitive component, similar to how the engine is to the human heart, with other vehicle components acting as body parts. Hoses function like blood vessels but have specific roles. Therefore, high quality is essential for this part. In this regard, Golden Union Asia, leveraging its extensive experience, supplies high-quality automotive parts and accessories to all parts of the country.
