Abstract

A refrigerant-transporting hose includes a tubular inner layer 1 in contact with a fluorine refrigerant, an intermediate layer 2 formed on an outer periphery surface thereof, and at least one rubber layer 3 and 5 formed on a further outer periphery thereof, and the inner layer 1 is made of a inner layer material including maleic anhydride-modified polypropylene as a main component and the intermediate layer 2 is made of a intermediate layer material including polyamide resin as a main component.

Claims (28)

1. A refrigerant-transporting hose, comprising:

a fluorine refrigerant-conducting tubular inner layer;

an intermediate layer formed on an outer periphery of the inner layer; and

at least one rubber layer formed on a further outer periphery of the intermediate layer,

wherein the inner layer is made of an inner layer material including maleic anhydride-modified polypropylene as a main component, and

wherein the intermediate layer is made of an intermediate layer material including polyamide resin as a main component.

2. The refrigerant-transporting hose according to claim 1 , wherein

a modification amount of the maleic anhydride-modified polypropylene is 0.26 to 0.36 weight %.

3. The refrigerant-transporting hose according to claim 1 ,

wherein a melting point of the maleic anhydride-modified polypropylene is 165 to 168° C.

4. The refrigerant-transporting hose according to claim 2 ,

wherein a melting point of the maleic anhydride-modified polypropylene is 165 to 168° C.

5. The refrigerant-transporting hose according to claim 1 , wherein the rubber layer is a butyl rubber layer.

6. The refrigerant-transporting hose according to claim 2 , wherein the rubber layer is a butyl rubber layer.

7. The refrigerant-transporting hose according to claim 3 , wherein the rubber layer is a butyl rubber layer.

8. The refrigerant-transporting hose according to claim 4 , wherein the rubber layer is a butyl rubber layer.

9. The refrigerant-transporting hose according to claim 1 , wherein the rubber layer is an ethylene-propylene rubber layer.

10. The refrigerant-transporting hose according to claim 2 , wherein the rubber layer is an ethylene-propylene rubber layer.

11. The refrigerant-transporting hose according to claim 3 , wherein the rubber layer is an ethylene-propylene rubber layer.

12. The refrigerant-transporting hose according to claim 4 , wherein the rubber layer is an ethylene-propylene rubber layer.

13. The refrigerant-transporting hose according to claim 1 , wherein the inner layer and the intermediate layer are directly bonded together without an adhesive.

14. The refrigerant-transporting hose according to claim 2 , wherein the inner layer and the intermediate layer are directly bonded together without an adhesive.

15. The refrigerant-transporting hose according to claim 3 , wherein the inner layer and the intermediate layer are directly bonded together without an adhesive.

16. The refrigerant-transporting hose according to claim 4 , wherein the inner layer and the intermediate layer are directly bonded together without an adhesive.

17. The refrigerant-transporting hose according to claim 1 , wherein the rubber layer further comprises at least one of a resorcinol compound and a melamine compound.

18. The refrigerant-transporting hose according to claim 2 , wherein the rubber layer further comprises at least one of a resorcinol compound and a melamine compound.

19. The refrigerant-transporting hose according to claim 3 , wherein the rubber layer further comprises at least one of a resorcinol compound and a melamine compound.

20. The refrigerant-transporting hose according to claim 4 , wherein the rubber layer further comprises at least one of a resorcinol compound and a melamine compound.
