Invention: deicer
| Year | Description |
| 1993 | Invention patented by Daniel P. Johnston on September 8th, 1993. Abstract: Improved deicer compositions containing crystalline double salts formed from mixtures of relatively low molecular weight carboxylic acids (for example, mixtures of formic acid and acetic acid) are provided. The deicer compositions are generally prepared by neutralizing an aqueous mixture containing at least two carboxylic acids or salts thereof, adjusting the pH to between about 7 and about 10, and drying the aqueous mixture to obtain a double salt crystalline product. Double salts containing sodium cations and double salts containing sodium cations and at least one cation selected from the group consisting of potassium, calcium, and magnesium provide effective deicing compositions which are environmentally safer than conventional deicing compositions. |
| 1994 | Invention patented by Walter E. Thorton-Trump on October 20th, 1994. Abstract: A mobile deicer is mounted on hydrostatically driven wheels mounted directly to the longitudinal frame without springs, thereby increasing the stability of the apparatus. Supported on the frame is the unique body which allows stand up access to the engine compartment, carries a larger volume of deicing fluid, provides a crew compartment shielded from the weather, and provides ready access to the operator compartment. Supported atop the body and aligned with the longitudinal of the frame is the main boom, which raises and lowers the operators compartment. The operators compartment is connected to the main boom by a parallelogram boom which maintains the platform supporting the operators compartment in the horizontal plane. Also mounted on the platform is a scissor boom extendible horizontally which carries a nozzle on its distal end, the nozzle being positionable under the operators control. The scissor boom may be inclined relative to the horizontal plane within preset limits. |
| 1997 | Invention patented by Kiyoo Amako and Makoto Mizuno on July 1st, 1997. Abstract: A deicer includes a water tank storing water and an antifreeze solution tank storing an antifreeze solution. The water tank and the antifreeze solution tank are provided with heat exchangers, respectively. Pumps are further provided for feeding the water and the antifreeze solution in the respective tanks to a spray nozzle for spraying out a mixture of the water and the antifreeze solution. A gas turbine is provided for driving the foregoing pumps. Exhaust gas of the gas turbine is introduced into the heat exchangers through a control of valve switching so as to hold temperatures of the water and the antifreeze solution in the respective tanks to be constant. Further, bleed air of the gas turbine is fed to an air nozzle so as to be jetted out therefrom. |
