Definitions

  • the field to which the disclosure generally relates is a hose suitable for use in refrigerant systems such as vehicle, industrial, and residential refrigerant systems, such as automotive air conditioning systems.
  • the hose has an inner layer with improved properties used in air conditioning systems.
  • the quantity of elemental sulfur can be reduced or eliminated and sulfur containing accelerators can be used. While the number of sulfur atoms within crosslinks will be reduced as compared to rubber conventionally cured with elemental sulfur, any sulfur-to-sulfur bonds will have more susceptibility to bond breakage than carbon-to-carbon bonds when exposed to heat or stress. Any unreacted portions of sulfur accelerators or sulfur donors will also be available to corrode easily corroded AC compressor components such as nickel. Typically, the need to avoid sulfur or the demand for increased service temperatures will drive material selection towards a peroxide cured elastomer, which presents issues described above.
  • a refrigerant hose which includes an innermost tube defining a lumen therein, the innermost tube having an elastomeric material comprising a high temperature resistant polyepichlorohydrin (HT-ECO) rubber which is cured with a bis-phenol-S based curing system.
  • the refrigerant hose may further, and optionally, include a permeation inhibiting layer which surrounds the innermost tube, and, optionally, an elastomeric tie layer.
  • the refrigerant hose also includes a reinforcing layer disposed outwardly from the innermost tube and the optional permeation inhibiting layer, when used, as well as a cover layer disposed outwardly from the reinforcing layer.
  • the innermost tube in some cases, has a volume swell percentage of 10% or less when exposed to polyolester oil or polyalkylene glycol oil for 168 hourrs @ 150°C. Further, the innermost tube is devoid of peroxide, devoid of added reactive sulfur including elemental sulfur, and/or sulfur donors. In some aspects, the lumen contains molecules of 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene refrigerant therein. In some cases, the bis-phenol-S based curing system includes sodium carbonate, bis-phenol-S and organo-onium.
  • the refrigerant hose further includes a tie layer disposed between a permeation inhibiting layer and the reinforcing layer when a permeation barrier layer is incorporated into the refrigerant hose.
  • the cover layer is based on one or more of butyl (HR), halobutyl (CIIR/BIIR), high temperature resistant polyepichlorohydrin (HT-ECO) rubber which is cured with a bis- phenol-S based curing system, brominated isobutylene paramethyl-styrene (BIMS) and ethylene-propylene-diene monomer rubber (EPDM).
  • the reinforcement layer may be a woven polyester fabric, such as a woven polyethylene terephthalate fabric, glass fibers, cotton fibers, polyester fibers, polyaramid fibers, and/or aramid fibers.
  • the reinforcing layer is a spiral reinforcing layer
  • the refrigerant hose further includes a second tie layer surrounding the spiral reinforcing layer, and a second spiral reinforcing layer disposed between the cover layer and the second tie layer.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a barrier braided hose in a cut away perspective view, in accordance with the disclosure
  • FIG. 2 depicts an all rubber braided hose in a cut away perspective view, in accordance with the disclosure
  • FIG 3 illustrates a spiral barrier hose in a cut away perspective view, in accordance with the disclosure
  • FIG. 4 depicts a cross-section of a hose with refrigerant and oil contained therein.
  • Hose embodiments according to the disclosure generally include a rubber hose having an innermost tube, at least one reinforcement layer, and an outer cover.
  • the hose embodiments also include barrier style hose which generally includes a barrier layer, at least one reinforcement layer, optional reinforcement layer or layers, optional tie layer or layers, an outer cover, and an innermost tube.
  • the innermost tube is formed from an elastomeric material including a high temperature resistant polyepichlorohydrin (HT- ECO) rubber which is cured with a bis-phenol-S based curing system.
  • HT- ECO high temperature resistant polyepichlorohydrin
  • Other suitable additives may also be included in a mixture forming the elastomeric material, such as, but not limited to, one or more carbon blacks, processing aids, antiozonants, retardants to prevent an unduly quick cure, curing aids, antioxidants, other reinforcing agents and fillers, such as silica, coupling agents, dispersants, adhesion promotors, and the like.
  • any suitable material when used, any suitable material may be used to form the layer when constructing a barrier style hose.
  • a barrier layer is not used in the all rubber construction.
  • barrier materials includes polyamides such as PA11 , PA46, PA6, PA66, PA6,66, PA66,6, PA69, PA610, PA612, PA1010, PA1212, PA4T, PA6T, PA9T, and PA10T; thermoplastic polyester elastomers based upon polyether-ester block copolymers, such as those supplied under tradename Hytrel®; or thermoplastic elastomers comprised of polyamide and polyether backbone blocks, such as those supplied under tradename Pebax®.
  • the reinforcing layer may be based on a material formed by braiding, spiraling, knitting, or helical knitting of yarn.
  • the reinforcing layer may be based on a material which is woven or non-woven.
  • the material may be selected from conventional hose reinforcing yams, such as glass, cotton, polyester, or aramid fibers, or a blend of any of these fibers.
  • the reinforcing layer in the hose is a polyester or aramid fabric, or even a blend of polyethylene terephthalate yam and polyethylene naphthalate yam to form the fabric.
  • any suitable rubber may be used for the cover layer employed in embodiments of this disclosure.
  • the rubber is selected from, but not limited to, ethylene propylene diene rubber (EPDM), ethylene propylene rubber (EPR), butyl rubber (HR), chlorobutyl rubber (CIIR), bromobutyl rubber (BUR), chloroprene rubber (CR), nitrile rubber (NBR), chlorosulfonated polyethylene rubber (CSM), epichlorohydrine rubber (ECO), high temperature resistance polyepichlorohydrine rubber (HT-ECO), acrylic rubber (ACM), chloroprene rubber (CR), ethylene-acrylic elastomer (AEM), or chlorinated polyethylene (CPE), and blends or copolymers thereof, and the like.
  • the base stock for the cover layer is EPDM.
  • Hose 400 includes an innermost tube 402, formed from an elastomeric material including a high temperature resistant polyepichlorohydrin (HT-ECO) rubber which is cured with a bis- phenol-S based curing system, and which, in some aspects, is surrounded by an optional permeation inhibiting layer 404, and disposed adjacent permeation inhibiting layer 404 is an optional tie layer 406.
  • HT-ECO high temperature resistant polyepichlorohydrin
  • innermost tube 402 is formed from an elastomeric material including a high temperature resistant polyepichlorohydrin (HT-ECO) rubber which is cured with a bis-phenol-S based curing system, the 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene refrigerant is stabilized, swelling due to contact of the inner wall of innermost tube 402 with POE oil is minimized, or essentially eliminated, and formation of polymerized 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene molecules 424 is avoided.
  • innermost tube 402 is devoid of peroxide, as well as devoid of any added sulfur or sulfur containing materials, and lumen 412 is devoid of polymerized 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene molecules 424.
  • first, second, third, etc. may be used herein to describe various elements, components, regions, layers and/or sections, these elements, components, regions, layers and/or sections should not be limited by these terms. These terms may be only used to distinguish one element, component, region, layer or section from another region, layer or section. Terms such as “first,” “second,” and other numerical terms when used herein do not imply a sequence or order unless clearly indicated by the context.
