FIELD: transport.
SUBSTANCE: method for ice removal and/or prevention of its formation on train running gear consists in realisation of ice removal process in two stages. In the first stage, hot water is used as anti-icing solution, and in the second stage propylene glycol is used to apply anti-icing layer. Device for ice removal and applying protection layer on train running gear in order to implement the mentioned method is characterised by additional introduction of manifold with nozzles to remove ice from the rear of cars, service and buffer reservoirs for hot water storage which are equipped with temperature and level control instruments. Outputs of additional reservoirs via additional controlled valves are connected with force pump to supply anti-icing solutions to manifolds. At the output of reservoir for propylene glycol solution preparation, controlled valve is installed which is opened by control system signal at the same time with closing valves at the output of additional reservoirs. In parallel to trays on both sides of rail way, splash-proof screens are installed which screens are equipped with panels with drive for their opening and closing.
EFFECT: lower consumption of anti-icing solution, longer service life of equipment.
