METHOD OF ICE REMOVAL AND/OR PREVENTION OF ITS FORMATION ON TRAIN RUNNING GEAR AND DEVICE TO THIS END Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC B61K13/00 B60S3/00 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to railway transport and can be used to remove ice from the train running gear and/or to produce protective anti-icing film. Proposed device comprises container for preparing initial solution with electric heaters and pickups to control solution temperature, concentration and level. Said container is communicated via pumps and valves and accessories with manifold 14 provided with nozzles 12 to feed anti-icing solution. Train position control pickups are arranged along the track and connected with anti-icing solution feed control system. Troughs to collect contaminated solution are arranged on sleeper cribwork and outside it. Proposed method comprises preparing anti-icing solution, feeding it into working zone and applying protective layer via different nozzles fitted on separate manifolds in the zone of the car bogies. Anti-icing solution is feed intermittently after mounting the next car. Protective layer is applied with the train running through deicer at preset speed.

EFFECT: higher reliability, reduced costs.
