Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a jet de-icing system and method for aircraft wings under severe icing conditions, belonging to the field of aircraft wing anti-icing and de-icing. Background Technology
[0002] When an aircraft flies at a speed below the critical Mach number, its wings, engine air intakes, and other components collide with supercooled liquid droplets in the atmosphere, causing icing. As the primary lift-generating component, the wings undergo changes in smoothness and shape after icing, altering aerodynamic parameters. This leads to a decrease in the aircraft's lift-to-drag ratio and lift coefficient, deterioration in takeoff and landing performance, and other serious jeopardies to flight safety. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an efficient and rapid de-icing method for aircraft wings in emergency situations to ensure flight safety.
[0003] Several patents have already proposed aircraft anti-icing and de-icing technologies and their applications. Patent CN115924085A designs a heating component for an anti-icing and de-icing system. Its main feature is the integrated curing of an electrically heated component with a composite material, improving heat transfer efficiency. However, the electric heating requires high energy consumption and has a certain delay, lacking the ability to remove ice buildup quickly under severe icing conditions. Patent CN104129504B designs an adjustable-angle flute-shaped tube structure for hot gas anti-icing. Its main feature is the use of a motor with controllable rotation angle to ensure that engine bleed air is sprayed onto the icing area at a specific angle and attitude, allowing for flexible anti-icing and de-icing of severely iced areas. However, using engine bleed air reduces the aircraft's effective payload.
[0004] This invention proposes a jet-type de-icing system and method for aircraft under severe icing conditions. Fuel replaces ram air as a heat sink, and a loop heat pipe system absorbs waste heat from the aircraft fuel tank. This waste heat is then used to heat water in the water tank. Simultaneously, thanks to the highly efficient heat exchange method of the jet, ice on the wing surface is removed efficiently and quickly. This invention utilizes aircraft waste heat to heat the water tank and uses a jet method for de-icing, resulting in energy savings, high efficiency, and a significant reduction in de-icing time, providing a method for achieving efficient de-icing under severe icing conditions. Summary of the Invention

[0010] Furthermore, the jet device 8 is equipped with a telescopic device 9. When the telescopic device 9 is energized, the telescopic rod extends or shortens, thereby driving the nozzle to extend or retract. The nozzle is made of 316L stainless steel.
[0011] Furthermore, the core material of the loop heat pipe system is sintered copper powder, the working fluid is ethane, and the materials of the loop heat pipe condensing section 7-1, main condensing line 7-2, first condensing line 7-2-1, second condensing line 7-2-2, third condensing line 7-2-3, first compensation chamber 7-3-1, second compensation chamber 7-3-2, third compensation chamber 7-3-3, first evaporation section 7-4-1, second evaporation section 7-4-2, third evaporation section 7-4-3, main steam line 7-5, first steam line 7-5-1, second steam line 7-5-2, and third steam line 7-5-3 are copper.
[0012] Furthermore, the condensing section 8 of the loop heat pipe system is submerged in water in the water storage tank 6, and the condensation releases heat to heat the water in the water storage tank 6;
[0013] The first compensation chamber 7-3-1 and the first evaporation section 7-4-1, the second compensation chamber 7-3-2 and the second evaporation section 7-4-2, and the third compensation chamber 7-3-3 and the third evaporation section 7-4-3 of the circuit heat pipe are respectively placed in the left wing oil tank 1-1, the central oil tank 1-3, and the right wing oil tank 1-2.
[0014] The loop heat pipe system uses three evaporation sections in parallel: the first evaporation section 7-4-1, the second evaporation section 7-4-2, and the third evaporation section 7-4-3, to achieve heat transfer from three heat sources: the left wing oil tank 1-1, the central oil tank 1-3, and the right wing oil tank 1-2.
[0015] The first evaporation section 7-4-1, the second evaporation section 7-4-2, and the third evaporation section 7-4-3 of the loop heat pipe system are respectively equipped with a first compensation chamber 7-3-1, a second compensation chamber 7-3-2, and a third compensation chamber 7-3-3 to prevent the heat pipe core from drying out under high overload conditions.
[0016] Furthermore, flow control valves 10 are installed on each of the left wing water supply branch pipe 5-1 and the right wing water supply branch pipe 5-2 to control the flow rate of each jet device 8.
[0017] Furthermore, the inner and outer layers of the water storage tank 6 are made of stainless steel, the core layer is made of polyurethane foam, and the upper part of the water storage tank 6 has a water inlet 6-1.
[0018] Furthermore, the first evaporation section 7-4-1, the second evaporation section 7-4-2, and the third evaporation section 7-4-3 of the loop heat pipes installed in the left wing fuel tank 1-1, the central fuel tank 1-3, and the right wing fuel tank 1-2 respectively absorb the heat of the fuel. The working fluid vaporizes and absorbs heat to form steam. Driven by the capillary force of the heat pipe core, the working fluid leaves the first evaporation section 7-4-1, the second evaporation section 7-4-2, and the third evaporation section 7-4-3 and enters the first steam pipeline 7-5-1, the second steam pipeline 7-5-2, and the third steam pipeline 7-5-3 respectively before flowing into the main steam pipeline 7-5. The steam then enters the main steam pipeline 7-5. In condensing section 7-1, steam releases heat, heating the water in storage tank 6. The steam then liquefies into subcooled liquid, leaving condensing section 7-1 and entering main condensing line 7-2. The subcooled liquid is then branched through main condensing line 7-2 into first condensing line 7-2-1, second condensing line 7-2-2, and third condensing line 7-2-3. Finally, it returns to first compensation chamber 7-3-1, second compensation chamber 7-3-2, and third compensation chamber 7-3-3 respectively, mixing with the residual working liquid in each compensation chamber, and then returning to first evaporation section 7-4-1, second evaporation section 7-4-2, and third evaporation section 7-4-3 respectively, completing one cycle.
[0019] When the shut-off valve 3 is opened, the water in the water storage tank 6 is heated and powered by the water pump 2. It flows from the water supply main pipe 4 through the shut-off valve 3 and then flows to the left wing water supply branch pipe 5-1 and the right wing water supply branch pipe 5-2 respectively. Finally, it flows into the flow control valve 10. After the flow rate is regulated by the flow control valve 10, the jet device 8 sprays out droplets first to prevent the cabin where the jet device 8 is placed from freezing and being unable to open. After the ice in the cabin melts, the cabin opens, and the telescopic device 9 extends the nozzle to spray left and right to remove the ice on the surface of the wing. It performs de-icing operations on the leading edge of the wing and the surface of the wing. After the de-icing is completed, the telescopic device 9 is powered on and controls the telescopic rod to retract the nozzle into the cabin. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0029] When ice crystals form on the wing surface, the loop heat pipe system is activated. The working fluid absorbs heat from the fuel in the left wing fuel tank 1-1, the central fuel tank 1-3, and the right wing fuel tank 1-2 in the first evaporation section 7-4-1, the second evaporation section 7-4-2, and the third evaporation section 7-4-3, respectively, to form steam. The steam flows from the first steam line 7-5-1, the second steam line 7-5-2, and the third steam line 7-5-3 to the main steam line. After passing through the main steam line 7-5 to the condensation section 7-1, it liquefies and releases heat to form a subcooled liquid. The subcooled liquid passes through the main condensation line 7-2 and then through the first condensation line 7-2-1, the second condensation line 7-2-2, and the third condensation line 7-2-3, mixing with the remaining working fluid in the first compensation chamber 7-3-1, the second compensation chamber 7-3-2, and the third compensation chamber 7-3-3 before re-entering the first evaporation section 7-4-1, the second evaporation section 7-4-2, and the third evaporation section 7-4-3 to complete one cycle.
[0030] The heat released by the liquefaction of steam gradually heats the water in the water storage tank 6. The water is pumped from the water supply main pipe 4 to the left wing water supply branch pipe 5-1 and the right wing water supply branch pipe 5-2 by the water pump 2. After the water flow is controlled by the flow control valve 10, the water droplets are sprayed to the left and right sides through the jet device 8. This is to prevent the cabin where the jet device 8 is placed from freezing and being unable to open. After the ice in the cabin melts, the cabin opens, and the telescopic device 9 extends the nozzle to sweep away the ice on the surface of the wing for de-icing. When the de-icing of the wing surface is completed, the telescopic device 9 retracts the nozzle into the cabin.

It utilizes the efficient heat exchange of jets and a loop heat pipe system combined with the waste heat from the aircraft fuel tank to maximize the use of waste heat resources, thereby achieving efficient and low-energy de-icing. At the same time, this invention addresses the urgent need for rapid de-icing of aircraft in emergency situations of severe icing.

7. The method for a jet-type wing de-icing system under severe icing conditions according to claim 1, characterized in that: The heat pipes installed in the left wing fuel tank (1-1), the central fuel tank (1-3), and the right wing fuel tank (1-2) respectively in the first evaporation section (7-4-1), the second evaporation section (7-4-2), and the third evaporation section (7-4-3) absorb heat from the fuel. The working fluid vaporizes and absorbs heat to form steam. Driven by the capillary force of the heat pipe core, the working fluid leaves the first evaporation section (7-4-1), the second evaporation section (7-4-2), and the third evaporation section (7-4-3) and enters the first steam pipeline (7-5-1), the second steam pipeline (7-5-2), and the third steam pipeline (7-5-3) respectively, before converging into the main steam pipeline (7-5). After passing through the main steam pipeline (7-5), the steam enters the condensation section. (7-1) Steam releases heat in the condensing section (7-1), heating the water in the water storage tank (6). The steam then liquefies into subcooled liquid and leaves the condensing section (7-1) to enter the main condensing pipeline (7-2). The subcooled liquid is then diverted through the main condensing pipeline (7-2) into the first condensing pipeline (7-2-1), the second condensing pipeline (7-2-2), and the third condensing pipeline (7-2-3). Finally, it returns to the first compensation chamber (7-3-1), the second compensation chamber (7-3-2), and the third compensation chamber (7-3-3) respectively, and mixes with the residual working liquid in each compensation chamber. It then returns to the first evaporation section (7-4-1), the second evaporation section (7-4-2), and the third evaporation section (7-4-3) respectively, completing one cycle. When the shut-off valve (3) is opened, the water in the water tank (6) is heated and powered by the water pump (2). The water flows from the water supply main pipe (4) through the shut-off valve (3) to the left wing water supply branch pipe (5-1) and the right wing water supply branch pipe (5-2), and finally flows into the flow control valve (10). After the flow rate is regulated by the flow control valve (10), the jet device (8) sprays out droplets to prevent the cabin where the jet device 8 is stored from freezing and being unable to open. After the ice in the cabin melts, the cabin opens and the telescopic device (9) extends the nozzle to spray left and right to remove the ice on the surface of the wing and perform de-icing operation on the leading edge of the wing and the surface of the wing. After the de-icing is completed, the telescopic device (9) is powered on and the telescopic rod is controlled to retract the nozzle into the cabin.
