De-Icing Equipments TRIZ Cases
- Bartack-Stitched Pneumatic Deicer Boots With Layered Seam Reinforcement
Bartack stitches reinforce stretchable and non-stretchable layers to resist thread failure during cyclic aircraft deicer operation.
- Onboard Aircraft Ice Detection Using Cameras and Machine Learning
Manual ground inspections can delay aircraft operations; onboard cameras and trained classifiers detect ice from image changes in real time.
- Aircraft Wing Ice Runback Control Zone with Electrothermal Heating
Continuous heating in critical wing zones and intermittent heating elsewhere limit ice runback while reducing electrothermal power use.
- Rotor Blade Ice Shedding With Sequenced Heating Zones
Sequenced rotor heating zones use repeated activation and dwell periods to shed ice uniformly without continuous anti-ice power.
- Gas Turbine Inlet Anti-Icing With Shielded Swirl Airflow
An aft-wall flow deflector sends pressurized air tangentially through the inlet chamber, improving heating uniformity while limiting thermal stress.
- Air Data Probe Electronics Housing With Offset-Wall Thermal Isolation
An offset inner and outer wall with an air gap limits heat reaching potted electronics, reducing expansion and connection failure.
