Title:
ARTIFICIAL ICE FLOATING PLATFORM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/171523
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
An artificial ice floating platform is obtained by artificially freezing water within a surface area (3.2) bordered by upper, bottom and lateral sides arranged forming a body of a desired geometrical form abd made from suitable material, including stainless steel in the form of sheet metal. The surface area (3.2) consists of one or more layers, so that the internal layer of the surface area is covered with a thermally insulating material (3.3) made from suitable material including thermal insulation foam, which serves as a heat insulator between the interior area (2.2) of the bordered surface area (3.2) and the surrounding area. Positioned in the interior area (2.2) are all the systems needed for realisation of the procedure for artificial freezing of water, while the backbone of the artificial freezing of water is comprised of the cooling system which consists of cooling plants (5.1) with cooling units for cooling the cooling medium for freezing water and for maintaining the ice, pipelines (5.2) with bundles (6.1) of pipes along which the cooling medium is appropriately distributed within the interior area (2.2). A system of sensors (7.1) for measuring ice temperature are distributed within the interior area (2.2) and connected to a control- management centre (4.1) with a computer system for supervision of the execution of all processes.
