  • Publication number: 20230015338
    Abstract: Method for the production of a vacuum insulated glazing unit with more than two panes and a vacuum insulated glazing unit with more than two panes. In one example a triple pane vacuum insulated glazing assembly is fused and the cavity is backfilled during cooling whereby the centre pane temperature may be lowered. This has the advantage of keeping the stresses below the failure boundaries and enabling faster production.

  • Publication number: 20220074260
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a glass sheet assembly for a vacuum insulated glass unit includes applying an edge seal made of a first material to a perimeter of a first surface of a first glass sheet. The edge seal defining a discontinuity. The method also includes disposing a first surface of a second glass sheet on the edge seal such that a gap is defined between the first surface of the first glass sheet and the first surface of the second glass sheet. The method further includes evacuating the gap through the discontinuity and locally heating the edge seal to at least partially seal the discontinuity.
