DEVICE FOR ICE REMOVAL FROM POWER TRANSMISSION LINE WIRE Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC H02G7/16 

FIELD: electricity.

SUBSTANCE: device contains a housing, which is designed with a possibility of its mounting on a wire. Also it is provisioned with transportation means and ice removal devices. The transportation mean is designed as the container, filled with calcium carbide with a possibility of ensuring its contact with the humidified ice on a wire. To create the device moving force the jet force zero occurring from inflaming of acetylene, formed during chemical reaction as a result of interaction of calcium carbide with water. When ice is removed from a wire, heat is used, which is released as a result of chemical reaction and acetylene burning, for ignition of which and creation of initial velocity of the device rotation in a combustor located inside a housing, the igniting device with the power charge is installed. Behind a combustor the turbine driving wheel with a mill is installed, while the turbine wheel is rigidly connected to the device housing, which is made asymmetrical, i.e. with imbalance with reference to its spin axis. For humidifying of ice in the device supports piezoelectric elements are installed, which through current distributors are connected with spring-loaded heating devices installed in the front part of the device.

EFFECT: increase of the device operation productivity and improvement of quality of ice removal.
