Dry Core - Ice Core Drill Fluid Evaporation & Odor-Capture System - Basis of Design

This document forms the Basis of Design for “Dry Core”, an ice core drill fluid evaporation and odor capture system. The primary purpose of the proposed system is to remove Estisol-140 (E-140) drill fluid residue and its objectionable odor from the South Pole Ice Core (SPice) ductile cores and brittle-ice cores, although ice cores from other projects may also be used in the drying system if the core diameter is not larger than approximately 4.1 inches.
