Thermal insert connection

摘要

A thermal insert connection in which a joint (16) located between a receiving component (12) and an insertable component (10) is sealed by applying a seal (17) which lies on a surface area (20a, 20b) which forms a groove (18) for receiving the seal (17). The seal (17) is first inserted after the thermal insert is assembled and cooled so that the seal is not subjected to thermal stress during the thermal insertion process.
