  • Apparatus and method for heating an infrared-initiated splice seal
    Patent number: 7565067
    Abstract: An apparatus for heating a splice seal includes structural members defining a heating area that receives a splice seal. At least one of the structural members is moveable between an open position and a closed position. At least one heat source is arranged in the heating area. The heat source directs infrared radiation toward the splice seal when the structural member is in the closed position. At least one cooling device cools the heating area when the structural member is in the closed position.

  • Apparatus and Method for Heating an Infrared-Initiated Splice Seal
    Publication number: 20070196082
    Abstract: An apparatus for heating a splice seal includes structural members defining a heating area that receives a splice seal. At least one of the structural members is moveable between an open position and a closed position. At least one heat source is arranged in the heating area. The heat source directs infrared radiation toward the splice seal when the structural member is in the closed position. At least one cooling device cools the heating area when the structural member is in the closed position. A method for heating a splice seal includes providing structural members that define a heating area; supporting the splice seal in the heating area; directing infrared radiation toward the splice seal; and cooling the heating area with a cooling device simultaneously with directing the infrared radiation toward the splice seal.
