Ice is beautiful. However, ice also poses problems. Ice accumulation on bridges, buildings, car windshields, airplanes, windmills, solar panels, pedestrian sidewalks, transmission power-lines and refrigeration equipment can be disastrous. If your business is facing one of these problems, you may need the help of a professional firm focused on deicing technologies. Over the last 20 years a team of Dartmouth College scientists and engineers has developed, patented, licensed and successfully deployed solutions to address icing problems in all of the above industries. Among the licensees of that technology are such a giants as United Technology Co. which acquired three licensees.
Deicing systems for most engineering structures and equipment require custom design and BetterMultiphysics.com provides that service. Why it’s “MultiPhysics”? Because successful design must combine expertise in Materials Science, Ice Physics, Heat Transfer, Fluid Dynamics, Power Electronics, Electro-Magnetics and Control Electronics. We design deicing systems that are not only functional but are also optimized for energy-efficiency, speed and reliability.
Though the technology was granted 28 US and over 50 foreign patents, it’s now free for use in many fields and many countries. We will provide you with accurate information if your country or/and field of use would need a sub-license.
