... a thermosyphon is a passive heat exchange system. This technology allows cold air to get beneath the foundation of a structure(like a building or a road embankment) and redistributes heat into the air, above the surface. If applied to the [Rideau Canal] Skateway, this technology would promote ice growth by cooling the water beneath the ice. 1, record 1, English, - thermosiphon

One of the innovations being tested is the "slush cannon, "a machine that shoots water into the air so it falls to the canal as slush, coating the top layer of ice. Researchers hope the machine will act as a catalyst to speed up the freezing process. 2, record 2, English, - slush%20cannon
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Slush cannons would be useful to promote ice growth in the early part of the season. The idea is to spew slush onto the ice to make it thicker, faster. 3, record 2, English, - slush%20cannon
