La patente de invención US4162684 de fecha 31 .07.1979, de Loveless, Charles, titulada Solar ice melter for use at low ambient temperatures, describe un dispositivo que utiliza energía solar para derretir hielo a bajas temperaturas ambientales (congelación o por debajo) y, más particularmente, a aparatos para dispensar agua potable a pastoreo de ganado en pastizales remotos en climas o en elevaciones donde las bajas temperaturas ambientales pueden causar que el agua para ganado, en abrevaderos se pueda congelar. Invention patent US4162684 dated 07.31.1979, by Loveless, Charles, entitled Solar ice melter for use at low ambient temperatures, describes a device that uses solar energy to melt ice at low ambient temperatures (freezing or below) and, more particularly, to devices for dispensing potable water to livestock grazing in remote rangelands in climates or at elevations where low ambient temperatures can cause water for livestock at drinking troughs to freeze.
La patente de invención US4291673 de fecha 29.09.1981 , de Deutz, Roger, titulada Passive solar roo† ice melter, describe un derretidor de hielo de techo solar pasivo y alargado se coloca sobre el hielo y la nieve acumulados, incluido un dique de hielo a lo largo del borde inferior de un techo de un edificio con calefacción y se mantiene contra movimientos longitudinales respecto a sí mismo. El fusor incluye una pared inferior que tiene una superficie superior altamente absorbente a la energía solar radiante; una primera ventana situada en ángulo recto con respecto a la pared inferior, y una pared reflectante que conecta los bordes laterales opuestos de la pared inferior y la primera ventana. La pared reflectante tiene una superficie orientada hacia la pared inferior y la ventana, que es altamente reflectante a la energía solar radiante. La energía solar radiante pasa a través de la primera ventana y golpea la superficie superior altamente absorbente de la pared inferior o golpea la pared reflectante para que se refleje hacia la superficie superior de la pared inferior. De este modo, el calor generado se derrite a través del hielo debajo de la pared inferior, lo que hace que la capa de hielo se retire entre la pared inferior y la parte superior del techo e inmediatamente adyacente al fundidor de hielo a lo largo del techo. Invention patent US4291673 dated 29.09.1981, by Deutz, Roger, entitled Passive solar roo † ice melter, describes an elongated passive solar roof ice melter placed on accumulated ice and snow, including an ice dam along the lower edge of a heated building roof and held against longitudinal movements relative to itself. The melter includes a bottom wall having an upper surface highly absorbent to radiant solar energy; a first window positioned at right angles to the bottom wall, and a reflective wall connecting the opposite side edges of the bottom wall and the first window. The reflective wall has a surface facing the bottom wall and the window, which is highly reflective to radiant solar energy. Radiant solar energy passes through the first window and hits the highly absorbent upper surface of the lower wall or hits the reflective wall to be reflected to the upper surface from the bottom wall. In this way, the heat generated melts through the ice below the bottom wall, causing the ice sheet to recede between the bottom wall and the top of the roof and immediately adjacent to the ice melter along the the ceiling.
El agua embalsada por la presa de hielo puede luego fluir hacia abajo a través de esta ruptura en la presa y drenar inofensivamente al suelo. Esto evita que el agua embalsada se filtre de nuevo debajo de las tejas y dentro de la casa para dañar el interior de la casa. The water impounded by the ice dam can then flow down through this break in the dam and harmlessly drain to the ground. This prevents stored water from seeping back under the shingles and into the home to damage the interior of the home.

Un tubo sin fin que se forma para tener extremos de bucle de tubo superior e inferior que conectan dos secciones de tubo alargadas intermedias se llena con un medio de transferencia de calor de fluido y un colector solar se asegura al extremo de bucle de tubo inferior para la transferencia de calor solar al fluido. Una de las secciones de tubo alargado está cubierta con aislamiento. Este dispositivo está asegurado a la parte superior de un alero del techo con el colector solar dependiendo del borde inferior del alero del techo para la exposición a la radiación solar. El fluido calentado circula hacia arriba a través de la porción aislada del tubo sin fin y regresa a lo largo de la porción no aislada del hielo de fusión del tubo en el techo y proporciona un escurrimiento de agua para el hielo de fusión.

An apparatus (10) to melt ice, snow or polar snow, to obtain liquid water by means of the omnidirectional capture of solar rays, CHARACTERIZED because it comprises a hemispherical cover (1) of double translucent layer of monolithic polycarbon, for the manual access of ice or snow, which reinforces the greenhouse effect and insulation; a thermally conductive metal plate (2), with its upper surface a selective black color; a thermally insulated container (4), which supports a load of pieces of ice or snow (5), wherein the thermally conductive metal plate (2) rests on the load of pieces of ice or snow (5); a closure seal (3) that is located in a surrounding manner on said upper surface of the thermally insulated container (4) that also supports the hemispherical cover (1) of double translucent monolithic polycarbon layer, generating a hermetic closure of the apparatus (10 ); During the melting process of the load of pieces of ice or snow (5), an initial liquid water level (7) is achieved that improves the melting contact of the rest of the load the molten material is recovered through a water outlet liquid (6), and this is surrounded by a protective insulation (8), to prevent freezing at the outlet of the liquid water (6).
2. El aparato (10) para fundir hielo, neviza o nieve polar, de acuerdo con la reivindicación 1 , CARACTERIZADO porque su cubierta hemisférica (1 ) de doble capa translúcida de policarbono monolítico, para el acceso manual de hielo o neviza, puede ser abatible. 2. The apparatus (10) for melting ice, snow or polar snow, according to claim 1, CHARACTERIZED in that its hemispherical cover (1) of double translucent layer of monolithic polycarbon, for manual access to ice or snow, can be folding.
3. El aparato para fundir hielo, neviza o nieve polar, de acuerdo con la reivindicación 1 , CARACTERIZADO porque su cubierta hemisférica (1 ) de doble capa translúcida de policarbono monolítico, para el acceso manual de hielo o neviza, puede ser encajable. 3. The apparatus for melting ice, snow or polar snow, according to claim 1, CHARACTERIZED in that its hemispherical cover (1) of double translucent layer of monolithic polycarbon, for manual access to ice or snow, can be nestable.
4. El aparato para fundir hielo, neviza o nieve polar, de acuerdo con la reivindicación 1 , CARACTERIZADO porque la placa metálica (2) térmicamente conductora por su color negro opaco, que ejerce presión sobre al hielo o neviza, acelera su fusión por contacto y por su mayor absorción solar frente al hielo o neviza que son blancos reflexivos. 4. The apparatus for melting ice, snow or polar snow, according to claim 1, CHARACTERIZED in that the metal plate (2) thermally conductive due to its opaque black color, which exerts pressure on ice or snow, accelerates its melting by contact and due to its greater solar absorption against ice or snow, which are reflective white.
