The invention discloses a deicing and
snow melting
system utilizing terrestrial heat in a tunnel. The
system comprises a
heat pump unit, a
heat supply pipe and heat exchange tubes, wherein the
heat supply pipe and the heat exchange tubes are respectively communicated with the
heat pump unit so as to form two circulating pipeline independent from each other; fluid in the
heat supply pipe and the heat exchange tubes provides circulating power by virtue of the
heat pump unit, and heat exchange is performed by virtue of the heat pump unit. According to the deicing and
snow melting
system utilizing terrestrial heat in the tunnel disclosed by the invention, rich geothermal resources in a high-temperature geothermal area can be utilized, and the terrestrial
heat energy in the tunnel is transferred to the ground by virtue of the pipeline, so that the aims of actively melting
snow and deicing are achieved. The snows and ice on the
road surface in spring and winter can be eliminated, the road riding safety problem is improved, the
asphalt pavement
service quality is improved, the
traffic accident rate and economic losses are reduced, the life and property safety of the masses can be protected, the service performance of the
asphalt pavement can be maintained, the service life is prolonged, the environmental hazards caused by use of
chlorine deicers are reduced, good economical benefits are achieved, and the renewable and
sustainable energy, namely, the terrestrial
heat energy is reasonably used.
