Patent ID: 8851359

Claim:
A method for assembling at least two plates by brazing, said plates being separated by a filler material arranged between said two plates, said method comprising: placing said two plates separated by said filler material into a furnace; compressing said two plates separated by said filler material; controlling a temperature of said furnace according to a brazing cycle, wherein, during said compressing, said two plates separated by said filler material are compressed using a plurality of devices configured to be pressurized with a fluid, said pressurizable devices being located in said furnace and distributed across a surface in a lateral direction of one of said two plates on which each pressurizable device applies a mechanical pressure, said mechanical pressure being remotely adjusted as a function of the temperature of said furnace, said mechanical pressure exerted on the surface of one of said two plates by each of said pressurizable devices being obtained by the presence of an initial quantity of fluid within said pressurizable device, the mechanical pressure exerted increasing with the temperature in said furnace and being adjusted by changing said initial quantity of fluid within said pressurizable device by adding or withdrawing fluid, said mechanical pressure that each pressurizable device of said plurality of pressurizable devices exerts being adjusted independently from the mechanical pressure exerted by the other pressurizable device or devices, wherein each of said pressurizable devices is a bellows.
