A system and method for repairing a coke oven having an oven chamber formed from ceramic bricks. A representative system includes a insulated enclosure insertable into the oven chamber and includes removable insulated panels that define an interior area for workers to work in. The insulated enclosure is movable between an expanded configuration and a compact configuration and moving the enclosure to the expanded configuration will decrease the distance between the insulated enclosure and the walls of the oven chamber. Removing the panels exposes the ceramic bricks and allows workers within the interior area to access and the bricks and repair the oven chamber while the oven chamber is still hot. A loading apparatus lifts and inserts the insulated enclosure into the oven chamber. The insulated enclosure can be coupled to additional insulated enclosures to form an elongated interior area.
An insulated enclosure designed for use in coke oven repairs having an interior area defined by a floor portion, a ceiling portion, and opposing first and second side portions that extend between the floor portion and the ceiling portion, the insulated enclosure comprising:
An oven repairing system for repairing an oven having an oven chamber defined by a floor, a crown, and sidewalls that extend between the floor and the crown and wherein the coke oven comprises a plurality of bricks that form the floor, the crown, and the sidewalls, the oven repairing system comprising:
