<p>The tips of a pleated membrane are bonded to the interior of the housing of a fluid flow transfer apparatus by positioning support spacers in the membrane folds on the membrane side opposite the side to be bonded, closing the entrances to the spaces between the folds on the bonding side of the membrane, introducing flowable adhesive between the membrane tips and the housing interior while the entrances remain closed, applying a pressure differential across the membrane, with the higher pressure being on the bonding side of the membrane and the differential being large enough to force the membrane folds against their respective support spacers so that the spacers support the membrane, and curing the adhesive to harden it.</p> |
