Abstract:

Determining how to quickly and economically remove the ice on the airport runways, city roads and bridges is becoming a tough problem to keep the traffic flow and safe in the snow and icy weather. In this context, this paper presents a new method that combines thermal deicing method, water-jet cutting technology with mechanical deicing method, based on analyzing the deficiencies of the existing ice removal methods. Then, it introduces the construction of thermal water-jet and mechanical deicing equipment, mainly the design of thermal water-jet device, and presents the experimental results by repeated indoor experiments. The results indicate that the device can perform well in deicing work, and satisfy to the design requirements.
