  • Systems and Methods For Assembling Liquid Desiccant Air Conditioner Panels Using Flexible Alignment Features
    Publication number: 20250276357
    Abstract: A method of assembling a multilayer panel for use in a heat exchanger includes positioning a frame on a work platform, the frame having two header sections and a middle section, the middle section defining a heat transfer fluid area and each header section defining a header area. The method also includes positioning a heat exchange sheet on the frame across the middle section and each header section, welding the heat exchange sheet to the frame to form a middle weld enveloping the heat transfer fluid area and two outer welds each enveloping a corresponding one of the header areas, and controlling alignment between the frame and the heat exchange sheet during welding.
