Development of an underwater frazil-ice detector
AbstractA new underwater frazil-ice detector developed at USACRREL is described. The detector can operate remotely and independently. It can automatically start de-icing procedures and alert operators to the presence of frazil. The detector operates by measuring the flow rate through a small intake screen upon which frazil ice can accumulate. The intake screen is, in effect, a miniature trash rack that will freeze up much sooner than the actual trash rack. The detector was tested in the laboratory and in the field with good results; it is economical and is built largely with off-the-shelf items.
