Abstract
Abstract A refrigerant transporting hose including a polyamide resin innermost layer, at least one intermediate rubber layer positioned radially outwardly of the innermost layer, a reinforcing fiber layer positioned radially outwardly of the intermediate rubber layer or layers, an outer tube which is positioned radially outwardly of the fiber layer and has at least one layer including an outermost layer, and at least one phenolic resin layer formed of a phenolic resin and having a total thickness within a range of 5-100 mu m. Each phenolic resin layer is provided at a corresponding one of interfaces between adjacent layers which are selected from the innermost layer, the intermediate layer or layers, the fiber layer and the layer or layers of the outer tube.
