Given reasons for the formation of icing on the roofs of the buildings at the temperature of external air from-1–2°C to 8-10°C degrees. Under the influence of solar radiation or heat produced from the roof, the snow melts, the water flows down to the edge of the roof, where, coming into contact with a cold surface, air, freezes and forms ice «cap». The ice here, gradually accumulating, forms the ice, from which in the subsequent «germinate» icicles. Icicles often fall, causing injury to people, damaging the roof, facades of buildings, con-structions, vehicles, destroying the drainage pipes, etc. There are the following main directions of preventing the formation of icicles: improvement of drainage of water from the roofs of buildings; decrease the intensity of snow melting on the main plane of the building roofs, gutters, etc.; reduction of the weight of snow, which can accumulate on the roof; the use of devices and devices for the removal of icing. Proposed device for removal of icicles on the perimeter of the roof of the building.
Keywords: icicle frost.
