Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for impregnating capacitors and other receptacles with a fluid. In one example, a system may include a reservoir of a purified fluid to be used to impregnate one or more receptacles and a manifold configured to withstand an internal pressure differential to cause the purified fluid to infiltrate the manifold. The system may further include a convection oven in which the one or more receptacles and the manifold are located when the one or more receptacles are impregnated with the purified fluid.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a reservoir of a purified fluid to be used to impregnate one or more receptacles;
- a manifold fluidically coupled to the one or more receptacles and the reservoir, the manifold configured to withstand an internal pressure differential between the reservoir and the manifold that is to cause the purified fluid to infiltrate the manifold;
- and
- a convection oven in which the one or more receptacles and the manifold are located when the one or more receptacles are impregnated with the purified fluid.
A system for assembling one or more capacitors, the system comprising:
- a first subsystem to purify a fluid to be used to impregnate the one or more capacitors;
- and
- a second subsystem to receive the fluid from the first subsystem and to impregnate the one or more capacitors with the fluid via a manifold configured to withstand an internal pressure differential sufficient to cause the fluid to infiltrate the manifold from the first subsystem, wherein the manifold and the one or more capacitors are positioned within a convection oven.
A method, comprising:
- coupling one or more receptacles to a manifold;
- impregnating the one or more receptacles with a fluid by varying internal pressure at the manifold;
- and
- sealing the one or more receptacles while the one or more receptacles remain coupled to the manifold.
