METHOD OF SNOW MELTING DURING TERRITORY CLEANING BY VARIOUS MECHANISMS Russian patent published in 2019 - IPC E01H5/00 E01H5/10 

FIELD: municipal services.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to methods for forced melting snow-ice mass in cold season collected by different vehicles from city streets and roads. In the snow melting method, snow is cleaned and processed directly at the harvesting site. At that, snow is loaded by vacuum or mechanical method into heat-insulated tank installed on vehicle or automobile chassis. After heating water is poured into the nearest storm or sewage wells. It is also possible to transport collected snow and to load stationary storage hopper in places of water drain into sewer wells or places equipped for drainage. Snow melting is performed due to energy of water jet under pressure, which is created by high-pressure hydraulic pump and supplied through nozzles directly to snow or snow during loading into this hopper. As a result, a water-snow mass is formed, which is then passed through the same or other high-pressure hydraulic pumps for final melting, after which the obtained water is supplied back to the hopper.

EFFECT: invention provides effective snow heating under any climatic conditions with minimum power consumption.
