High Temperature Ducting and Hose
Rigid
ducting should be used as much as possible in internal bubble
cooling air flow systems, but there are portions of the system
where only flexible ducting (hose) will do the job. The most
common use of flex hose is to connect the distribution plenum
to the pipes on the bottom of the die. However, not all flexible
hoses will hold up when continually exposed to the heat that
comes from the bottom of the die. The high temperature can
quickly fatigue the hose causing significant leaks or even
collapse. Some flexible hoses have a cloth inner lining, which
over time, tends to be pulled away from the hose by the internal
vacuum which results in a difficult to detect airflow obstruction.
DRJ
has a solution to your flexible duct hose requirements. A
high strength hose capable of handling temperatures up to
500°F. This is an application proven hose is excellent
for connecting the IBC exhaust and supply plenums to the die.
The hoses that connect directly to the die come in ¾"
to 3 ½" ID and compress a maximum of 25% of standard
length. The main ducting sizes start at 4" ID and up
and compress 50% of standard length. The following table gives
you a variety of hose sizes to choose from (metric below).
