Method of active struggle with iceberg danger and device to this end Proposed method comprises detecting iceberg by observing the defined area of water, affecting the iceberg for its localization, changing the ice from solid phase into liquid phase. Said phase transition is triggered by forcing water jets to iceberg at 80-90°C. Water jets are fed by pipeline equipped with distribution pipeline with sprinklers to be descended from aircraft and located at iceberg top. Proposed device comprises active means consisting of helicopter, water intake tank, heater, outboard water intake pipeline and that to feed hot water to iceberg. Pipeline feed hot water to iceberg incorporates extra adapter composed of distribution pipelines with sprinklers. Water intake tank is composed of air-hydraulic tank. |

Active iceberg hazard control method and device for method's implementation Active iceberg hazard control method involves detection of iceberg by observing the water area. Action on iceberg for its localisation, which includes its being covered with waterproof cover, and transition of ice from solid phase to liquid phase. Transition of ice from solid phase to liquid phase is performed by action of water jets on iceberg at 80-90°C. Device for method's implementation includes the ship equipped with helicopter, high pressure water jet cannons, water receiving tanks and heating device. High pressure water jet cannons are connected by means of pipelines which are connected to waterproof cover covering the iceberg. |
