COMPLEX FOR PREVENTION OF ICE FORMATION Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC E02B15/02 

FIELD: hydraulic structures.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the equipment of hydraulic structures, namely to devices for cleaning ice from surfaces of open waters, and can be used to reduce the intensity of ice formation in the water area and create the necessary conditions for unimpeded mooring of vessels for year-round cargo delivery. Ice prevention complex includes a pumping module, an intake device, a distribution water manifold and connecting pipelines. Complex is additionally equipped with heating and compressor modules. Heating module provides the possibility of heating the water flowing from an intake manifold to the water manifold, up to +5…+40 °C. Compressor module is connected to a distribution air manifold, which is located below the water manifold, but above the intake device.

EFFECT: invention makes it possible to increase the efficiency of the complex.
