Ground‐Source Bridge Deck De‐icing Systems Using Energy Foundations
This chapter illustrates the thermal processes involved in the heating of bridge decks and presents the results of numerical analyses to provide more insights into the operational principles of bridge deck de‐icing. A series of numerical analyses were performed to investigate the effect of system‐related parameters, such as tube spacing, concrete cover thickness and fluid flow rate, as well as the effect of environmental factors, such as inlet fluid temperature, ambient temperature and wind speed. The chapter presents and discusses the results that serve as a benchmark to measure the operational conditions and the energy requirements for designing ground‐source bridge deck de‐icing systems. A series of three‐dimensional numerical analyses were performed to model the bridge deck heating process using the finite element software COMSOL.
