As the automotive industry increasingly prioritises weight reduction, fuel economy and cost-effectiveness, aluminium alloys have become the material of choice for manufacturing automotive air conditioning piping due to their light weight, high strength, excellent thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance. As a key component carrying high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant, the safety and r...
Automotive air conditioning refrigerant hoses are the core flexible fluid-transfer components within the vehicle’s air conditioning refrigeration circuit. Specifically, they refer to specialised hose assemblies manufactured using a multi-layer composite structure, designed to transfer refrigerant and associated refrigeration oil in a sealed manner between key components of the vehicle’s air condit...
I.How it works Core function: to convert the rotation of the steering wheel into wheel movement, thereby steering the vehicle. 1. Mechanical steering (non-power-assisted). Steering wheel → steering column → steering gear (rack and pinion/recirculating ball) → steering linkage → steering knuckle → wheel deflection; driven entirely by human effort. 2. Hydraulic power steering (HPS). The mechanical s...
With the rapid development of the automotive industry, automotive air-conditioning systems have significantly enhanced driving and passenger comfort, and there is growing emphasis on their functional requirements and technological innovation. The performance of the air-conditioning system relies on the connections within the piping system, such as high-pressure and low-pressure lines; consequently...
Summer is just around the corner. As we all know, a good car air-conditioning system can cool the car down quickly and ensure a comfortable drive, but we often don’t really know how to use the air-con properly or how to maintain and look after the system. We often find ourselves in this situation: when we switch on the car’s air conditioning in sweltering, blazing heat, we discover that the system...
The EU’s stringent carbon emission regulations are driving the acceleration of electrification, yet Europe faces a severe shortage of domestic production capacity for batteries, electric drive systems and smart components, coupled with slow technological advancement and a reliance on external supplies. In 2024, China’s exports of automotive components totalled US$93.43 billion, with Europe represe...
SAE J188 High-Capacity Intumescent Power Steering Hose Application: For vehicles equipped with power steering systems, used to transmit pressure within the power steering unit. Operating temperature: -40°C to 121°C, with a peak temperature of up to 135°C. Standard inner diameter: 3/8”. The primary material is CSM, which offers excellent resistance to ozone, ageing, chemical corrosion, high and low...
