Product Description
1. Material: The hard pipe of the intake manifold is usually made of metal (such as aluminum alloy or stainless steel), while the hose is usually made of elastic materials such as rubber or silica gel.
2. Stiffness: Rigid pipes have high rigidity and stability, and can maintain the stability of shape and structure. The hose has high flexibility and flexibility, and can adapt to different installation positions and angles.
3. Conductivity: The rigid pipe has good conductivity, which can reduce the resistance and vortex in the air intake system and improve the fluency and efficiency of air flow. The conductivity of the hose is relatively poor, which may produce some resistance and eddy current.
4. High temperature resistance: Due to the high air temperature in the air intake system, the rigid pipe usually has good high temperature resistance and can withstand the air flow in high temperature environment. The high temperature resistance of hose is relatively poor, and it may be deformed or aged at high temperature.
5. Pressure resistance: Hard pipes usually have high pressure resistance and can withstand high airflow pressure. The pressure resistance of the hose is relatively low, and it may expand or rupture under high pressure.
6. Maintenance and replacement: Due to the high durability and stability of hard pipes, it is generally unnecessary to maintain or replace them frequently. Hoses may need to be inspected and replaced regularly because of aging, wear or damage.
To sum up, the hard pipe of intake manifold has higher rigidity, conductivity, high temperature resistance and pressure resistance compared with the hose. These advantages enable the rigid tube to provide a more stable and efficient air supply, which is helpful to improve the performance and combustion efficiency of the engine. However, the flexibility and easy installation of the hose also give it advantages in some specific installation positions and angles. Therefore, when designing and selecting intake system components, it is necessary to determine whether to use hard pipes or hoses according to specific requirements and application scenarios.
