METHODOLOGY FOR CONDUCTING EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES TO EVALUATE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF BRUSH EQUIPMENT IN TUNNEL WASHING

Abstract

This article discusses the main operations performed by the machine for washing tunnels, walls, arches, sidewalks, chemical dispersion and morphological analysis of the composition of pollutants.

The organization and maintenance of tunnels on Federal roads, regional or municipal and local roads is carried out at intervals of 2 times a year. The tunnel is polluted depending on the type of transport, capacity, time of year and weather conditions. One of the most important factors of pollution is the type of engine installed in the car: petrol or diesel.

The main purpose of the scientific article is to describe the methodology for conducting six experiments that allow determining the efficiency of the pile of different stiffness, with different pile length and different brush speed. it allows us to conclude about the effectiveness of the pile samples, the required time for washing the tunnel to achieve high quality cleaning and minimize the number of passes of the pile.
