  • BubbleFlow CFD

    BubbleFlow CFD is an engineering consulting service offered by CanadianPond.ca that allows us to predict how the movement of water is impacted by the upwelling movement of bubbles released from Bubble Tubing® diffusers.  Development & validation  Over the last decade, Bubble Tubing® and C-Core Engineering, an independent research laboratory, have conducted in-depth studies on Bubble Tubing® diffusers to be able to validate three different CFD models for our main industrial applications: deicing, deflection and upwelling.  Our first modelling system was initially developed to measure the effectiveness of Bubble Tubing® as a de-icing system, making it possible to be used as a tool for ice management in the engineering phase of projects helping decision makers prior to installation.  Our second application was focused on debris such as plastics and more specifically jellyfish deflections using bubble curtains. The latest round of CFD and field validations concentrated its efforts on upwelling currents specific to aquaculture applications like destratification and temperature mixing in upper layers found in fish farms. This research and partnership have yielded new learning and in-depth knowledge about Bubble Tubing® and other products as well as validating our systems as best in class compared to other offers on the market. Benefits  Modelling using the finite-volume Navier-Stokes solver Siemens® Star-CCM+® Can be used during the preliminary stages of a project to explore accurate scenarios that can be used during decision-making and to help reach efficiency requirements. Allows a better understanding of a project predicted results, engineering requirements and costs for a complete feasibility assessment. Proven to match real world results consistently with well over 90% accuracy. Allows for design iteration and installation optimization before mobilizing construction crews and equipment. Can be used as a basis for projects and operations managers to make long-term decisions. For instance, a powerplant whose water intake is being blocked by jellyfish could evaluate based on CFD models how much an incremental increase in jellyfish deflection (ex from 80% to 90%) would affect their water intake cleaning costs as well as the opportunity cost of energy production shutdowns. If this incremental increase of jellyfish deflection allows them to clear the water intake only once every month instead of once every week, there is an opportunity to reduce operating costs. When the volume of jellyfish blocking the water intake is unmanageable. BubbleFlow CFD  can be used to predict the percentage of jellyfish deflected and bring the volume down to operational levels and that avoids shutdowns. Bubble Barrier to Protect Water Intakes Against Jellyfish Swarms from Canadianpond.ca Products Ltd. on Vimeo. Applications  BubbleFlow CFD is currently available for three industrial applications: de-icing, debris deflection and upwelling in aquaculture. If you are unsure of the feasibility of a project or simply want to have a reliable basis for decision making, investing in a CFD simulation will allow you to better understand the forces at work in your water environment as well as ensure that the system’s installation is optimized for your needs. CFD analysis is best if you already have on site data collection of water parameters such as temperature stratification, tidal currents, river flow and bathymetry. We do not collect on site data for this analysis, they must be provided by the client for analysis. For complex de-icing projects, a CFD model can be created according to precise site conditions such as water intakes and regional parameters such as hours of daylight at northern latitudes and the thickness of ice to ensure your operations are never at risk of ice damage. With experience in the energy industry and industrial installations, we know how valuable continual operations are, preventing maintenance breaks or stoppage of procedures by de-icing key infrastructure can be simulated for extreme conditions. For debris deflection projects, modelling allows us to test how efficient each possible placement of Bubble Tubing® is at deflecting what needs to be managed, be it for plastics in a river or jellyfish in the sea.  These tests can be essential to understanding the limits of the system and allow clients to choose which layouts allows them to reach their optimal efficiency goals. For aquaculture, we can use CFD models to experiment at solving issues created by rising lakes and ocean temperatures that seasonally threatened farmed fish of mortality and loss of revenues. Degrading water conditions such as sustained high temperatures, jellyfish and algae blooms can have a large impact on farms profitability.  Using BubbleFlow CFD, we can recommend best placement and strategy for optimal operations of SalmoAir® upwelling systems to counteract these harmful changes. By modelling the upwelling effect of diffusers and considering on-site water parameters, we can accurately predict how the temperature of the water inside the cages will be to maintain ideal growing conditions for the targeted fish species.  Thawline System for De-icing Docks with Bubble Tubing® from Canadianpond.ca Products Ltd. on Vimeo.  Consulting Services Aquatic environments are ever-changing and can be difficult to adapt when starting a project, our CFD services allow you to get rid of the guess work by using a tried and tested model to simulate real world aquatic movements.

  • Clearance - Kasco Marine De-Icer

    Protect your docks, boats and submerged structures with a Kasco Marine de-icer.  While supplies last. Items sold "as is" on final sale with no return or exchange possible. Benefits and Information This page displays Kasco Marine deicers on clearance only. If you don't find the model that you are looking for on this page, please go to the regular surface aerator page. Winter ice can damage your dock to the point of complete destruction. The thicker the ice gets, the more it also expands. This can literally destroy your dock. When the water level in a lake changes in the winter, the ice surrounding your posts can tear them off the sea floor.  The ice clinging to the structure shows how securely the expanding ice was attached. Kasco Marine de-icers are specially designed to be suspended from a dock, industrial barge or boat to prevent damage caused by ice expansion and water level variations. This animated video illustrates two of the ways you can position your de-icer. Kasco de-icers use a propeller system that creates a vertical or horizontal movement of water to prevent ice from forming near docks, boat shelters and shorelines. The de-icer performs by moving warmer, denser water upward from the bottom of the pond or lake and circulates the water upward to the surface and sideways creating an agitation that reduces or eliminates ice build-up creating a large ice-free surface. Installation with a horizontal float or with a universal dock mount are options that allow you to precisely direct the movement of the water to strategically and precisely de-ice a particular structure. Ideal for fresh or salt water applications. Kasco Marine de-icers, also known as circulators or agitators, are available at CanadianPond.ca, your Kasco Marine dealer in Canada. Shipping Some products may face a longer shipping delay (approximately two or three weeks), let us know if your order is required before a due date, we will let you know if we are able to meet your expectations as soon as possible.

High quality propeller - Specially designed for maximum whirl at minimum energy cost. Power cable - submersible power cable that remains flexible in the air despite temperatures as low as -45ºC (-50ºF). Waterproof connections for ease of installation and handling. Oil - The oil used allows for limited maintenance, increased heat dissipation and better protection against moisture. Motor housing - Stainless steel, corrosion resistant, saltwater compatible. Warranty: 1 year on clearance items. Check with local authorities to ensure that the addition of deicers is permitted in your municipality. The de-icing area should be well marked with a sign to warn all persons of the hazard. To be used with all types of de-icing systems. How to Choose your Deicer Choosing the right de-icer is easy, refer to the ice opening chart (pdf) to find the best model and application kit for your needs. If Kasco de-icers do not meet your needs, visit the Thawline Linear De-Icers page which can also be used for industrial projects. All Kasco de-icers are also available in 240V and/or 50 Hertz for the European market, call us for more information.Kasco Marine De-Icing Chart (PDF) Note: Several factors can affect the size of the opening created by a de-icer, including temperature, water depth, and the size of the water body. This chart is a tool to assist in decision-making but can vary significantly depending on the environment in which it will operate.   Timers & Control Box Options Controlling your Kasco Marine de-icer with a thermostat or timer is a great way to save energy and extend the life of your de-icer by operating it only when needed. The C-10 Thermostat allows you to determine an accurate temperature under which your unit starts.The C20 Thermostat and Timer Control Unit combine the schedule of the day with the temperature at which you want your de-icer to operate.   Installation / Security Suspension with ropes - Vertical position - For de-icing in a circle shape All Kasco de-icers include 2 x 20-foot ropes to suspend the de-icer under the dock or boat. These ropes are included in the de-icer box. Hang the system vertically on either side of the structure at a depth of 4 to 5 feet from the water surface. A vertical installation produces a circular de-iced surface. Another possibility is to attach the de-icer to each side of the boat with the suspension ropes so that the de-icer follows the tide or water level. Horizontal float mount – Horizontal position – Produces long elongated pattern when no dock is available You can also use the optional horizontal float set to create an elongated ice free space. The de-icer installed under the horizontal float can be positioned at different angles for added versatility. Ideal for : Shallow water Places where there are water level fluctuations such as a tide or in a large lake where the waves are high. Sites to be de-iced where there are no docks or structures. Installation with dock support - Angled position - For elongated de-icing Kasco's industrial dock support, made of corrosion-resistant metal, requires 1.5" I.D. stainless steel pipe threaded at both ends and measuring a maximum of 10 feet (not included). It is manufactured to meet the most stringent environmental requirements. Moreover, thanks to its unique design, you can easily modify the angle, depth and positioning of the de-icer. This option is ideal for creating an angle at the de-icer. It gives a very good precision of the surfaces to be de-iced. It is often easier to de-ice a boat by installing the de-icer at the bow and angling it towards the stern of the boat. If the water movement is directed towards the shore or a retaining wall, the water current will be directed on each side of the shore or wall to create a "T" shaped de-icing section. Security Check with local authorities to ensure that the addition of de-icers is permitted in your municipality. The de-icing area should be clearly marked with a sign to warn anyone of the danger. For use with all types of de-icing systems. Click here to purchase the thin ice sign.

These cabinets are safe, well ventilated, secure, and provide some noise reduction. Furthermore, the cabinets allow for the installation of our manifolds inside of the cabinet thus protecting both external elements of these systems. The compressor comes mostly pre-assembled. No electrical connection included. Please consult a qualified electrician for all electrical connections.  With a cabinet: For installations with a cabinet, be sure that both the inlet vents (under the cabinet) and louvers are not blocked as fresh air is needed to keep the compressor from overheating. The cabinet can be placed directly on the ground or can be permanently attached to a concrete pad. The bottom feet of the cabinet have an insert which can be used to anchor the cabinet in place. The cabinet should be placed near the electrical panel which will provide power to the system. The adapter will already be connected to the compressor. There are no electrical outlets included in the cabinet. Make sure an electrical connection is available for each fan of the cabinet to ensure proper ventilation of the compressor and avoid overheating. For the electrical connections, consult a qualified electrician. For ease of maintenance or increased ventilation, the lid and the walls of the cabinet can be removed to expose the compressor. Four (4) bolts at the bottom of the cabinet are to be removed to release the sides. Without a cabinet: For specific installations, a version without the cabinet is available. If a manifold is used, a manifold stand is a best practice.  Assembly instructions (PDF): Click Here Operation and Safety Maintenance: Check the compressor intake filter after the first 500 hours of operation. CanadianPond.ca Products Ltd. recommends checking the filter every month. Clean or replace as necessary. Failure to maintain a clean air filter will lead to premature failure and decreased performance of the compressor. Check oil regularly. For more information regarding the compressor, turn to the Busch compressor manual or contact Bush for maintenance services. Security: WARNING!- Necessary precautions must be taken when handling electric components with moving parts.- Consult a qualified electrician for electrical installation.- Lock out and tag out the electrical source before handling and performing maintenance.
