Abstract:
A method for joining a first component to a second component with a brazing material, the first component including an aperture for receiving the second component. The method includes positioning the second component within the first component via the aperture to form a gap between an inner surface of the first component and an outer surface of the second component, introducing by capillary action brazing material into the gap between the first component and the second component, and forming a join between the first and second component upon cooling of the brazing material introduced by capillary action. According to this first aspect of the present invention, the capillary flow of brazing material in the gap is diverted via a capillary flow diverter located in the gap between the first and second component.
Abstract:
A method for assembling an electrodeionization device comprising providing in a sequential arrangement: an anode, membrane cell assembly, cathode; wherein the membrane cell assembly comprises at least one sequential arrangement of: a cation exchange membrane, concentrating chamber, anion exchange membrane, diluting chamber, cation exchange membrane, concentrating chamber and anion exchange membrane. The method includes locating an ion exchange spacer in at least one chamber of the membrane cell assembly wherein an ion exchange spacer comprises an ion exchange resin and a dissolvable binder.
