In resent years, engineering thermoplastics represent a means for designers to integrate parts, facilitate assembly, reduce weight and lower the costs of their parts to improve the fuel efficiency and competitiveness of the cars. Thermoplastic turbo charger intake hose is one of most sophisticated application in thermoplastics under the hood. Used as part of weight & cost reduction and performance improvement program, thermoplastic turbo charger intake hose has been developed as rubber and metal replacement. For optimized product, NVH performance is a important criteria while keeping same durability required with current system. Though a number of studies have been conducted on the resonator hose and its analytical models, the most of studies were focused on transmission loss itself. This paper presents contribution of vehicle interior noise according to design parameters like profile, bellows type, bellows position, material characteristic. And we will review the design guidance for optimized product of thermoplastic turbo charger intake hose.
