Patent ID: 8327899

Claim:
A module for accelerating the curing of the resin contained in a liner that is inflated by air pressure to inflate the liner inside a passageway, the module comprising: a microwave applicator capable of emitting microwave radiation wherein the emitted radiation deposits thermal energy into the resin to accelerate curing of the resin; a power supply connected to the module; a winch connected to the module; the winch selectively preventing movement of the module through the passageway; the winch controlling the speed of travel of the module in the passageway; the module engaging the liner so that the air pressure moves the module; the module has at least one opening allowing air flow to pass from a first side of the module to a second side of the module, wherein the air flow moves within the passageway from one end of the passageway to a second opposing end of the passageway to maintain inflation of the liner, the air flow creates a positive pressure on the first side of the module and the second side of the module; wherein the at least one opening allowing the positive pressure to maintain the liner in contact with the passageway on the first side of the module and the second side of the module; wherein the air flow provides a force to propel the module through the passageway.
