Microwave deicing technology can significantly improve deicing efficiency in cold climates, promoting energy savings.
Deicing efficiency is evaluated using factors like temperature of concrete, formation time of water layer, and ice breaking.
The study identifies four distinct stages of microwave deicing: Heat from Concrete Stage, Heat from Water Stage, Ice Thinning Stage, and Ice Breaking and Melting Stage.
Incorporating carbon fibers into concrete enhances deicing speed up to 2.0 times when fiber length is optimized.
