Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Sammelgefässes/Trockners oder Sammlers

摘要

A method of attaching and sealing a fluid conduit (34) to a refrigerant receiver/drier (10) of the type formed of an aluminum canister (12) with a welded header (24) in which is formed the inlet (30) and outlet ports (26). An annular rib (32) is formed in the header about the inlet port. An annular convolution (36) is formed about the conduit (34) to be attached adjacent the end and a resilient seal ring (38) assembled over the tube conduit end and registers against the face or side of the convolution (36). The end of the tube conduit (34) is then inserted in the port (30) and the annular rib (32) deformed over the convolution (36) to retain the tube conduit (34) in the port (30) and sealed against the seal ring (38).
