MARC recordElectrochaude: a self-flushing hot-water drilling apparatus for glaciers with debris / Claude Rado, Claude Girard, Jacky Perrin.
| Title: | Electrochaude: a self-flushing hot-water drilling apparatus for glaciers with debris / Claude Rado, Claude Girard, Jacky Perrin. |
| Author(s): | Rado, Claude. Girard, Claude. Perrin, Jacky. |
| Date: | 1987. |
| In: | Journal of Glaciology. (1987.), Vol. 33(114) (1987) |
| Abstract: | Water is warmed electrically inside probe and propelled by micro-pump. It sprays into ice and scatters debris so that drilling can proceed unhindered by debris accumulation. Graph shows drilling rate v. nozzle-hole diameter. Maximum speed 14 m h⁻¹. Tested on temperate (Alpine) and sub-polar (Svalbard) glaciers. |
| Notes: | Journal of Glaciology. Vol. 33(114) :236-238 (1987). |
