DEVICE FOR PREVENTION OF ICE FORMATION ON WATER SURFACE Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC E02B15/02 

FIELD: construction.

SUBSTANCE: device includes vertical cylindrical housing 1 opened from above and having through slots 5 in lower part. An element generating water circulation is arranged in lower part of vertical cylindrical housing 1 and made in the form of a pair of electrodes - a cathode and an anode. The cathode is made in the form of metal bar 3 that is arranged inside housing 1 throughout its length coaxially at some distance from inner surface of the housing. The anode is located around the bar - the cathode and dielectrically isolated on inner surface of housing 1 in its lower part and somewhat above its through slots 5. The anode is made from electrically conducting material non-soluble in water. Pairs of electrodes are connected through electrical connections to direct current source 4, and electrical connection of the anode to it is arranged inside housing 1.

EFFECT: preventing ice formation on water surface near the structure; reducing corrosion rate and improving reliability of the device.
