METHOD OF ACTIVE STRUGGLE WITH ICEBERG DANGER AND DEVICE TO THIS END Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC E03B3/30 E02B15/02 F25C5/00 

FIELD: process engineering.

SUBSTANCE: proposed method comprises detecting iceberg by observing the defined area of water, affecting the iceberg for its localization, changing the ice from solid phase into liquid phase. Said phase transition is triggered by forcing water jets to iceberg at 80-90°C. Water jets are fed by pipeline equipped with distribution pipeline with sprinklers to be descended from aircraft and located at iceberg top. Proposed device comprises active means consisting of helicopter, water intake tank, heater, outboard water intake pipeline and that to feed hot water to iceberg. Pipeline feed hot water to iceberg incorporates extra adapter composed of distribution pipelines with sprinklers. Water intake tank is composed of air-hydraulic tank.

EFFECT: higher safety of arctic oil-and-gas deposits operation.
