Repair of rubber hoses

Rubber can dry out and crack, and is also susceptible to mechanical damage. Therefore, replacement of rubber hoses may be required even more often than repair of aluminum tubes.

If the hose is slightly damaged, just like on the tube, a patch is made. If the defect is large, it is better to replace the hose.

Repair of car air conditioning hoses can also be carried out to increase the reliability of the system. As a rule, manufacturing new parts is cheaper than using original ones from the manufacturer. Making a new tube or hose in an auto repair shop takes 40 minutes to an hour. Correct measurements usually require dismantling the air conditioner.

Aluminum tube repair

The most common material for making air conditioner pipes is aluminum – a lightweight and durable material that can withstand high pressure and high heat transfer coefficient. The disadvantage of the material is corrosion during operation, especially in European winter conditions.

In cars with a large interior volume and in premium cars, as a rule, an additional rear circuit is installed. This is due to the aggressive external environment, mainly winter salt and reagents.

When repairing an aluminum air conditioner tube, argon arc welding is required to seal the hole in the tube. It is impossible to do welding on your own without the necessary qualifications, so it is better to contact car service specialists.

Specialists from the DK-Avto service station will provide high-quality refueling, adjustment and repair of your car air conditioner  for your comfortable movement.
