Abstract

Disclosed herein is an ice melting apparatus for a ship voyage including: a boiler configured to heat a thermal medium; a high temperature pump configured to transfer the heated thermal medium; a heating cover unit configured to be heated by the thermal medium transferred by the high temperature pump and attached to a bow part of a ship; and a hot gas jet unit configured to be disposed in front of the heating cover unit and jet the air heated by the thermal medium.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An ice melting apparatus for a ship voyage, comprising:
 a boiler configured to heat a thermal medium;   a high temperature pump configured to transfer the heated thermal medium;   a heating cover unit configured to be heated by a thermal medium transferred by the high temperature pump and attached to a bow part of a ship; and   a hot gas let unit configured to be disposed in front of the heating cover unit and jet the air heated by the thermal medium.   
     
     
         2 . The ice melting apparatus for a ship voyage of  claim 1 , wherein the high temperature pump includes a motor part and an impeller part which allows the motor part to transfer the the medium, and
 the thermal medium is configured to be circulated into the motor part.   
     
     
         3 . The ice melting apparatus for a ship voyage of  claim 1 , wherein the heating cover unit has a metal pad form haying a blade shape meet jog left and right surfaces of the bow part, and
 an inside of the heating cover unit is provided with a first heat exchange to be heat-exchanged with the thermal medium.   
     
     
         4 . The ice melting apparatus for a ship voyage of  claim 3 , further comprising:
 a heat insulating pad configured to be disposed at a contact portion with the bow part of the heating cover unit and block heat from the heating cover unit.   
     
     
         5 . The ice melting apparatus for a ship voyage of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 an extending frame configured to extend from the bow part to the hot gas jet unit to support the hot as jet unit.   
     
     
         6 . The ice melting apparatus for a ship voyage of  claim 5 , wherein the extending frame is provided with a buffer part which is configured to buffer the hot gas jet unit. 
     
     
         7 . The ice melting apparatus for a ship voyage of  claim 1 , wherein the hot gas at unit is disposed in a cross direction with respect to a progress direction of the ship. 
     
     
         8 . The ice melting apparatus for a ship voyage of  claim 1 , where in the hot gas jet unit includes:
 a compressor configured to transfer air;   second heat exchange part configured to allow the thermal medium to heat the air; and   a plurality of nozzles configured to rapidly jet the heated air.   
     
     
         9 . The ice melting apparatus for a ship voyage of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a heating knife unit configured to have a blade form vertically disposed in front of the heating cover unit and be heated by the thermal medium to melt ice.   
     
     
         10 . The ice melting apparatus for a ship voyage of  claim 9 , wherein the heating knife on is provided with a third heat exchange part to be heat-exchanged with the thermal medium. 
     
     
         11 . The ice melting apparatus for a ship voyage of  claim 9 , further comprising:
 a position control unit configured to control a posture and a depth of the heating knife unit.   
     
     
         12 . The ice melting apparatus for a ship voyage of  claim 1 , wherein the thermal medium is oils which transfer heat at a temperature of 250 to 450° C. 
     
     
         13 . An ice melting apparatus for a ship voyage, comprising:
 a boiler configured to heat a thermal medium;   a high temperature pump configured to transport the heated thermal medium;   a heating cover unit configured to be heated by a thermal medium transported by the high temperature pump and attached to a bow part of a ship; and   a heating knife unit configured to have a blade form vertically disposed in front of the heating cover unit and be heated by the thermal medium to melt ice.   
     
     
         14 . An ice melting apparatus for a ship voyage, comprising:
 a boiler configured to heat a thermal medium;   a high temperature pump configured to transport the heated thermal medium;   a hot gas jet unit configured to be heated by the thermal medium transferred by the high temperature pump and disposed in front of a bow part of a ship to inject air heated by the thermal medium; and   a heating knife unit configured to have a blade form vertically disposed in front of the hot gas jet unit and be heated by the thermal medium to melt ice.
