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.
