- Chapter 15: Ice & Rain Protection › Frost Removal › Deicing & Anti-icing of Transport Type Aircraft
Deicing & Anti-icing of Transport Type Aircraft Deicing Fluid The deicing fluid must be accepted according to its type for holdover times, aerodynamic performance, and material compatibility. The coloring of these fluids is also standardized. In general, glycol is colorless ... Type-I fluids are orange, Type-II fluids are white/pale yellow, and TypeIV fluids are green. The color for Type-III fluid has not yet been determined. When aircraft surfaces are contaminated by frozen moisture, they must be deiced prior…

Electric Deice Boots A few modern aircraft are equipped with electric deice boots on wing sections or on the horizontal stabilizer. These boots contain electric heating elements which are bonded to the leading edges similarly to pneumatic deice boots. When ... melt the ice off of leading edge surfaces. The elements are controlled by a sequence timer in a deice controller. Ice detector and ram air temperature probe inputs initiate operation when other flight condition parameters exist. The boot elements turn…

Figure 7-28. Typical electrical deicing system. A deice system consists of one or more on-off switches. The pilot controls the operation of the deice system by turning on one or more switches. All deice systems have a master ... icing conditions. The timer or cycling unit determines the sequence of which blades (or portion thereof) are currently being deiced, and for what length of time. The cycling unit applies power to each deice boot, or boot segment…
