Abstract

A combined heat shielding and bonding device for shielding an adsorbent packet from heat experienced during fabrication of a refrigerant receiver housing in which the packet is located and for bonding the adsorbent packet to conduits within the receiver including a planar flexible metal sleeve surrounding the adsorbent packet and conduits in the vicinity where the housing is to be welded to thereby conduct heat away from the packet during the welding process, and a film of heat-meltable plastic on the inside surface of the sleeve facing the adsorbent packet and the conduits for being melted by heat experienced during the welding process and thus effecting adhesion between the sleeve and the adsorbent packet and the conduits to thereby retain the packet in fixed relationship to the conduits.
