AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing aircraft air intake de-icing systems fail to provide uniform de-icing across the lip due to non-uniform thickness caused by splices, leading to uneven temperature distribution and suboptimal de-icing performance.
Method used
A secondary de-icing system is integrated, comprising a heat exchanger with a thermally conductive main layer and electrically insulated heating elements, positioned between panels and splices to compensate for thickness variations and ensure uniform de-icing.
Benefits of technology
The secondary de-icing system ensures homogeneous de-icing capacity over the entire air intake lip surface, enhancing de-icing performance and maintaining consistent temperature distribution.
