Abstract

In this paper a new method in using microwaves is provided for melting the ice around a floating equipment in a freezing condition in cold regions. The numerical simulation’s results for validation are compared with the simple model’s experimental data. Using microwave in melting the ice around a floating equipment is caused by lack of the mechanical wear, low energy dissipation factor and acceptable defrosting process speed in small lakes.
