Benefits of technology

This patented technology uses an electric magnetic induction (EMI) heater to warm up the transition metals during their fusion process. It allows for quick adjustment of temperatures while also preventing damage from acids and bases used in traditional methods like immersion cool down techniques. Overall, this new method provides improved efficiency and quality compared to existing processes.

Problems solved by technology

Technological Problem: Current Solar Collectors Tubular Glass Heat Collection Tile (TGH) Connecters have issues with their ability to maintain strong connections when subjected to repeated temperatures over prolong periods without losing effectiveness. Additionally, current methods involve either one-side flat seals or two-pass curved seals, each having its own drawbacks including weakening resistance against bending stresses caused during installation.

Abstract

The invention relates to a thermal fusing sealing process of a metal-glass solar heat-collecting tube. The process adopting a vertical double-sided thermal fusing sealing mode comprises the following steps: arranging a transition metal tube (5) below a glass tube (2) to be coaxially aligned; utilizing high-frequency electromagnetic induction heating equipment for the preoxidation treatment of the fusing sealing part of the transition metal tube (5) in air; then, aligning and contacting the lower end surface of the glass tube (2) and the upper end surface of the transition metal tube (5) and continuously heating; slowly inserting the transition metal tube (5) into the glass wall to form double-sided fusing sealing after the lower-end contact part of the glass tube (2) is softened or melted; then, cooling; and immediately annealing after glass is solidified so as to finish the thermal fusing sealing of glass and metal. Compared with the prior art, the invention has simple process, low labor intensity, little energy consumption and easily controlled precision and can remarkably improve the fusing sealing quality and the strength of the glass and the metal.
