Evaluation of the use of salt brine for deicing purposes
Abstract
A new method of destroying snowpack and ice, which uses high-speed sodium chloride brine jet streams, is discussed. This report presents information and data on the construction of a prototype salt brine apparatus. The results of the field trials demonstrate that the salt brine concept does work and that substantial savings can accrue.
