Basin is the upper surface of the iceberg, the formation and maintenance

摘要

P the creation and the maintenance of a tank for collecting fresh water to the upper, substantially horizontal surface of a tubular iceberg limit the melting of the upper part of the iceberg. The pool is obtained by slowing down of the melting of the iceberg in a closed path defining the basin by unwinding of flexible sheets made of insulating material and reflective. The shape of the bottom of a u or v is obtained according to the deployment of the sheets of flexible insulating and reflecting for variable periods of time on the surfaces whose melting is limited. / p
