The hydraulic conveying of snow and ice has promising applications, e.g. in a district cooling system, because the pressure drop through pipes, as well as pipeline elements such as elbows, valves and pipe junctions, increases insignificantly with mixing snow and/or ice into water with a fraction up to 25%. From a practical point of view, it is neccessary to develop a technique to prevent the blockage due to compressed snow.
