Description

Technical area

The invention relates to a snow / ice melt system which is designed to remove snow and freezing cold on the floors or surfaces and which is environmentally friendly, effective and cost effective.

More particularly, the invention relates to a snow / ice melting system, the solar power vacuum tube of which obtains efficient hot water and which, by spraying the hot water with a sprayer, ensures removal of the snow and ice cold on the floors or surfaces.

State of the art

The snowdrifts and ice on the ground during the winter months have a negative impact on human life. In order to facilitate road traffic in winter, it is important to avoid snowdrifts and icing especially in some critical areas, such as airports, hospitals, schools, bridges, roadside slopes.

To remove snow and ice on the floors, road salt is most commonly used. But the use of de-icing salt brings with it other problems such as corrosion and damage to the environment.

In order to prevent piles of snow and icing on the surfaces, besides the road salt as an alternative method, hot water snow melting systems which can be automatically controlled (such as heat pipe, geothermal heat pump, etc.) have recently been used.

These hot-water snowmelt systems are attempting to include solar-powered units in the renewable energy dissemination studies. The World Bank's highest allocation of solar energy in 2013 has given additional strength to both world and innovative work in our country Systems are more common to us than topics that are focused on the generation of thermal or electrical energy. All of these studies have contributed to an increase in quality of life and an economic contribution.

Various developments have been made to the technology to thaw the ice and snow on the ground in winter.

In the known from the prior art Chinese patent CN105064256 One has mentioned a multifunctional snowplow vehicle. The vehicle according to the invention comprises a vehicle body, wheels, a solar energy system, a snow removal device and a water spray device. The solar energy system consists of a solar collector, a support column, a battery and a converter. The snow removal device consists of a rotating brush motor and a rotating brush, whereas the water spray device consists of a water pump, a water tank, a water spray pipe and the water spray holes. The vehicle is controlled by its own control panel. By means of the inventive vehicle, the snow can be thawed and mechanically cleaned. It is mentioned that it can be used with the sprayer in garden irrigation when it does not snow.

However, in this document, obtaining the hot water is made with a planar solar panel. Therefore, it is very difficult and inefficient to extract hot water with solar energy during the winter months.

In the known from the prior art Chinese patent CN2142124 refers to a snow and Eisräumsfahrzeug. The ice or snow on the roads is thawed by means of the hot water from the sprayer placed on the vehicle. The hot water is supplied via the boiler, the steam pipe and the gas pipe, which are mounted on the vehicle.

In the patent document known from the prior art US 3,456,368 The United States relates to a snow removing and melting apparatus. The vehicle includes a water spray device. The snow is melted with hot water from the spray.

In the Turkish patent document known from the prior art TR201203757 refers to a snow removal vehicle comprising a heating system and with or without additive. In the manufacturing phase, the vehicle chassis is extended or shortened according to the characteristics of the upper structure. On the vehicle chassis, the supporting body of the vehicle is mounted. On the carrying body of the vehicle, the liquid tank, the boiler / heaters, the spray pump and the mobile spray hose are mounted. On the vehicle, the snow plow is mounted. Subsequently, the spray tube is mounted on the vehicle and vehicle chassis. The vehicle is provided by means of mechanical, hydraulic and electrical connections.

These three illustrated documents do not include an environmentally friendly, effective and cost effective system.

Therefore, there is a need to develop a snow / ice melting system with a solar powered vacuum tube.

Object of the invention

The object of the present invention is to provide an environmentally friendly, effective and cost effective snow / ice melt system.

Another object of this invention is to provide a snow / ice melt system which involves removing the snow and ice by obtaining efficient hot water by means of a solar energy vacuum tube and then spraying that hot water.

From the solar powered vacuum tube ( 1 ), which is a renewable source of energy from the snow / ice melt system, hot water is obtained. The solar powered vacuum tube ( 1 ) is by welding the upper portions of the inner tube ( 8th ) and outer tube ( 11 ), which are inserted into each other, and formed by closing the lower part of the large tube. The air between the inner tube ( 8th ) and the outer tube ( 11 ) is sucked off and sealed. The value of the pressure is 5 × 10 ^-3 Pa. This pressure saves the thermal energy to 93%, as with a thermos bottle, providing long-term stabilization and even greater efficiency. This minimizes losses in heat transfer and heat storage.

The solar powered vacuum tube ( 1 ) can be operated in cold weather conditions down to - 18 ° C. The obtained thermal energy is transferred via the tube to the spray device ( 3 ) and through water spray holes ( 2 ) are transferred to the surface where melting of the snow is desired.

After the drying of the snow / ice on the ground by the hot water, the bottom with the drying unit ( 4 ), which on the Bewegugsteil ( 5 ), dried. This prevents possible icing due to cold weather conditions.
