Abstract
A pavement repair system is provided utilizing solid phase auto regenerative cohesion and homogenization by liquid asphalt oligopolymerization technologies. The system is suitable for use in repairing asphalt pavement, including pavement exhibiting a high degree of deterioration (as manifested in the presence of potholes, cracks, ruts, or the like) as well as pavement that has been subject to previous repair and may comprise a substantial amount of dirt and other debris (e.g., chipped road paint or other damaged or disturbed surfacing materials). A system utilizing homogenization by liquid asphalt oligopolymerization is suitable for rejuvenating or repairing aged asphalt, thereby improving properties of the paving material.
Claims19
An emitter system for repairing asphalt pavement, comprising:
- a structural frame;
- and
- one or more emitter panels situated within the structural frame, wherein the metal frame is insulated with a layer of a ceramic, wherein each emitter panel comprises a wire positioned between the high-density ceramic and a sheet of a micaceous material exhibiting biaxial birefringence, wherein each emitter panel is configured such that, in use, energy generated by each emitter panel passes through the sheet of micaceous material and impinges on an asphalt pavement.
