Defrosting device for thawing frozen-up water pipes has a steam boiler heated up near the ground and a control device to guide steam from the boiler into a frozen-up water pipe

摘要

Heated on the side of the ground, a steam boiler (1) generates steam and a control device, which maintains a link with the steam boiler so as to guide steam from the steam boiler into a frozen-up water pipe. So that the steam boiler cannot be heated up excessively when operating in outdoor areas, with which operating staff can come into contact, and so that a large amount of steam can be made available in a short time, the steam boiler is permeated by a channel (24) with its inlet at the bottom of the steam boiler.
