Abstract

Removal of thin ice and accumulated snow on the highway road snow is agent problem to be solved in the southern China. We proposed a heating method to remove the thin ice and snow on the highway road. Theoretical analysis was conducted to prove the feasibility by burning diesel oil for heating. The ice and snow are effectively melted with little diesel oil. A heating device model was proposed accordingly. The specific 3D structure was designed according to the presented proposal. To verify the ice melting capacity of the device, a preliminary experiment melting ice is conducted. Experimental result shows that the ice was quickly melted with low consumption of the fuel. With further optimization of device structure, a portable device for removal of thin ice and snow on the highway road will have a wide range of applications in southern China.
