Abstract
A method of assembling a thermosiphon system includes placing a base of an evaporator and a tube of a condensate line in a brazing fixture such that the base covers an aperture in a bottom of the tube with a bottom surface of the base abutting a precision machined surface of the brazing fixture, and simultaneously brazing the base and the tube while held by the brazing fixture to form a unitary body in a single brazing process, the unitary body including the evaporator and the condensate line.

A method of assembling a thermosiphon system, comprising:
- placing a base of an evaporator and a tube of a condensate line in a brazing fixture such that the base covers an aperture in a bottom of the tube with a bottom surface of the base abutting a precision machined surface of the brazing fixture;
- and
- simultaneously brazing the base and the tube while held by the brazing fixture to form a unitary body in a single brazing process, the unitary body including the evaporator and the condensate line.
A method of assembling a thermosiphon system, comprising:
- charging the thermosiphon system with a working fluid through a fill tube;
- crimping the fill tube to form a crimp;
- pinching the fill tube at a position to provide a pinch further from an end of the fill tube than the crimp;
- removing a portion of the fill tube including the crimp but not the pinch;
- sealing the fill tube.
