Ice and Rain Protection System

Icing is a destructive force that can compromise aircraft performance and safety. There are two main types of icing: rime and glaze ice. Anti-icing and deicing systems work to prevent or remove ice formation using methods like heated surfaces, pneumatic boots, and chemical applications. Proper ice protection is essential for flight in icing conditions to maintain aircraft control and visibility.

2 TYPES OF ICING
A. RIME B. GLAZE
ICE THAT FORMS ICE THAT FORMS A
ROUGH SURFACE SMOOTH SURFACE ON
ON THE AIRCRAFT. AIRCRAFT.
CAUSES

a. Moisture

b. Temperature near or below


freezing point
EFFECT
a. Can destroy lift characteristics of airfoil
b. Increase drag
c. Slowly decrease lift
d. May cause vibration
e. Control surfaces can freeze in one position
f. Engine air inlet can freeze
g. Windshield will severely reduce visibility
LOCATION OF ICE
-Leading edge of wing
-Leading edge of vertical and horizontal stabilizer
-windshields, windows and radomes
-heater and engine air inlets
-stall warning transmitter
-pilot tubes
-flight controls
-propeller blades and leading edge
-lavatory drains
3 Ways to manage icing
1. Avoidance

2. Utilize anti-icing

3. Utilize deicing
Methods in Preventing or
Controling Ice Formation
a. Hot-air heating
b. Electrical heating
c. Mechanically breaking up of ice
d. Alcohol spray
3 ways to employ methods
1.Anti-icing
2.Heating
3.Deicing
2 Types of Ice Control System
1. ANTI-ICING SYSTEMS
2. DEICING SYSTEMS
3 ANTI-ICING SYSTEMS
1. Thermal Anti-icing
-uses hot air
Reciprocating Engine
-air is heated in the combustion heaters
or heater shrouds around the engine
exhaust area
Turbine Powered Engine
-uses heated bleed air from compressors
3 ANTI-ICING SYSTEMS
2. Electric Anti-icing
-uses electrically heated to prevent ice
formation
-should not be operated on the ground
3 ANTI-ICING SYSTEMS
3. Chemical Anti-icing
-uses chemicals to prevent ice
formation
-isopropyl alcohol or mixture of
ethylene glycol and alcohol
DEICING SYSTEM
Propeller Deicing
-uses a heating element to melt ice then
allow centrifugal force to carry the ice
away
Pneumatic Deicer Boot
-uses air pressure to inflate boots and let
airflow remove ice formation
DEICING SYSTEM
Pneumatic Deicer Boot
-located on the leading edge of the wing and
sometimes on the horizontal stabilizer
-uses pressurized air
-build of soft, pliable rubber or rubberized
fabric
GROUND DEICING SYSTEM
a.Frost removal
-uses a T-broom
-coating a nylon or canvas
-Spraying the surface with deicing solution
GROUND DEICING SYSTEM
b.Ice and Snow removal
-2 step process a deicing and anti-icing step
Rain Control Systems
Small General Aircraft
-Transparentic acrylic plastic
windshield
-Waxing of windshield prevents the
effect of minimizing visiblity during
rain
Rain Control Systems
Large and Faster Aircraft
-uses 3 method to control the effect
of rain
1.Windshield wipers
2.Chemical rain repelant
3.Pneumatic rain removal systems
Rain Control Systems
1.Windshield wipers
-similar to automotive wipers
-must be never be operated on dry
windshield
Rain Control Systems
2.Chemical Rain Repelant
-uses liquid chemical sprayed on the
windshield to prevent water
reaching the surface of the glass
-syrupy liquid
Rain Control Systems
3.Pneumatic Rain Removal systems
-uses high pressure of bleed air to
coat the windshield with air
