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.
