An enclosure for conducting hot works

Abstract

The present invention relates to a compact hot work enclosure (10) that allows quick installation and is intended to carry out minor hot works safely in a potentially flammable gas environment. In particular, it allows the hot works to be carried out by technicians outside the enclosure by inserting their hand(s) through a glove section (22). Visibility is ensured by large view panel(s) (16) which consists of large transparent window(s) made up of high impact resistant fire retardant materials. Other panels of the enclosure are made from high temperature resistant materials. Positive pressure will be maintained in the enclosure using air supply from a blower or an inert gas supply from a cylinder. The enclosure components can be transported in handbags and can be assembled and de-assembled quickly.
