Title:
ANTI-ICING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PREVENTING ICE ACCUMULATION
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2015143101
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To overcome the conventional problem that the power supply required to power a wire heating pad type anti-ice or de-ice system is significant, because of the inefficiencies of the resistive heating pad elements, and may not be a feasible alternative as anti-ice or de-ice systems for general aviation aircraft.SOLUTION: An anti-icing system comprises a component surface 202 having a composite structure including a composite layer 214 and aids at least one heating element 220 formed within the composite layer 214, the heating element 220 being configured to provide a transfer of heat to the component surface 202. The anti-icing system further comprises an insulating element positioned adjacent to the component surface 202, the insulating element being configured to facilitate substantially preventing a loss of heat during the heat transfer.
