Hose wear and life

The viscosity of oil media has a significant impact on hose transmission, which is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1. Fluidity and transmission efficiency
High-viscosity oil: Oil media with high viscosity have greater resistance when flowing, so the energy loss is also greater when transmitting in the hose. This may lead to reduced transmission efficiency and require greater pumping force or longer transmission time to overcome flow resistance.
Low-viscosity oil: In contrast, low-viscosity oil media are easier to flow in hoses and have higher transmission efficiency. This helps to reduce energy loss and improve the overall performance of the system.
2. Pumping equipment and energy consumption
Pumping difficulties: High-viscosity oil media may have adverse effects on pumps, such as reduced head and flow, resulting in increased energy consumption and reduced efficiency. In extreme cases, it may even cause failure or damage to pumping equipment.
Increased energy consumption: Since high-viscosity oils need to overcome greater resistance during transmission, energy consumption also increases accordingly. This may lead to increased operating costs and is not conducive to the improvement of economic benefits.
3. Hose wear and life
Intensified wear: When high-viscosity oil media flows in the hose, due to large resistance and strong friction, the inner wall of the hose may be worn more. In the long run, the service life of the hose will be shortened and the replacement cost will be increased.
Degradation of sealing performance: Hose wear may also lead to reduced sealing performance and leakage. This will not only affect the transmission efficiency, but also pose a potential threat to the environment and safety.
4. Transmission safety and stability
Transmission stability: Changes in the viscosity of oil media may affect the stability of the transmission system. High-viscosity oil media are more likely to have problems such as fluctuations or blockages during transmission, thereby affecting the normal operation of the system.
Safety hazards: In certain circumstances, such as high temperature or high pressure environments, high-viscosity oil media may cause safety hazards. For example, accidents such as hose rupture or leakage due to large flow resistance.
In summary, the viscosity of oil media has many effects on hose transmission. In order to ensure the normal operation and safety of the transmission system, the appropriate viscosity of the oil medium should be selected according to the specific application scenario, and necessary measures should be taken to reduce the adverse effects of viscosity changes on the transmission system. For example, heating, dilution or adding viscosity reducers can be used to reduce the viscosity of oil media; at the same time, the maintenance and care of hoses should be strengthened, and severely worn hoses should be replaced in time to ensure the stability and safety of the transmission system.
