... 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
