  • Patent number: 11499787
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a roll-bond heat exchanger has steps of: (1) A preparing step: preparing an in-process roll-bond plate that has a main plate with a bulged structure, and a degassing portion with a tube; (2) A degassing step: removing air from the bulged structure through the tube; (3) A filling step: filling refrigerant into the bulged structure; (4) A pressing step: pressing the bulged structure flat to form a pressed portion; (5) A cutting step: cutting the degassing portion to form a cut portion on the main plate; and (6) A sealing step: welding the cut portion. The main plate and the degassing portion are integrally formed as a single part and the degassing portion is able to be directly connected with the vacuum filling machine.
