Abstract
A capacitor is presented that includes a housing, an electrode stack, a liner, and a fill port. The liner is located between the housing and the electrode stack. The liner includes a recessed portion. A fill port extends through the housing across from the recessed portion in the liner. A gap is formed between the recessed portion and the fill port.
Claims20
A capacitor comprising:
- a housing;
- an electrode stack disposed within the housing;
- a liner disposed between the housing and the electrode stack, wherein the liner comprises a recessed portion in a side of the liner;
- and
- a tube extending through the housing;
- wherein the recessed portion of the liner provides a gap between the recessed portion and the housing which prevents blockage of the tube by the liner.

A liner for a capacitor comprising:
- a curved side;
- a straight side;
- a bottom side between the curved side and the straight side;
- a recessed portion along the curved side, the recessed portion comprises a first side, a second side, and a third side to create a gap for preventing an opposing tube from blockage by the liner;
- a circumferential channel that substantial surrounds the curved and straight sides;
- and
- a sub channel disposed on the curved side adjacent to a fill port channel.
4 more elements
A capacitor comprising:
- a housing;
- an electrode stack disposed within the housing;
- a liner positioned between the housing and the electrode stack, wherein the liner comprises a recessed portion in a side of the liner;
- and
- a tube extending through the housing, wherein the tube defines an opening into the housing;
- wherein the recessed portion of the liner is positioned directly across from the opening defined by the tubing, and wherein the recessed portion of the liner provides a gap between the recessed portion and the opening.
3 more elements
A capacitor comprising:
- a housing;
- an electrode stack disposed within the housing;
- a liner positioned between the housing and the electrode stack, wherein the liner comprises a recessed portion in a side of the liner, and wherein the liner comprises a plurality of ridges formed on an outside surface of the liner, wherein the plurality of ridges are located on the side of the liner;
- and
- a tube extending through the housing, wherein the tube defines an opening into the housing;
