ABSTRACT:
A hot air circulation apparatus and method for wave soldering machines which heats air from a high-pressure air source and directs it at the flux applied to a printed circuit board. The heated and pressurized air also circulates air within the wave soldering machine to force the moisture out. A plurality of hot air knives are mounted adjacent heaters within the wave soldering machine and are coupled to the pressurized air source. The hot air knives include a hollow metal cylindrical member which conducts heat from the heater, and contain a plurality of orifices which increase the pressure of the air and direct the air at the flux.
