The aluminum accumulator is
assembled using a universal can top which is punched with the appropriate
hole configuration at the point of use. The port and outlet fittings are
welded to the can top. The anti-siphon tube is assembled through the can
into the inlet fitting, then welded in place. The anti-siphon tube is manufactured
in house by cutting the tube to length, assembling the filter, end forming
with the OEM trumpet design, bending, and punching the pickup and pressure
equalization holes. The bottom can is assembled to the top can with the
desiccant bag inside. The two halves are then welded around the outside
of the seam.
After welding is complete the valve cores are assembled in the port fittings
and the unit is checked for leaks. The units are leak tested using a nitrogen
pressure test underwater. Once the accumulators pass leak test, caps are
assembled and each unit individually packed in a cardboard box with o-ring
kits.
