    摘要: During a de-ice process, heating zones associated with a rotor may be supplied with power for shedding accreted ice from the heating zone. Priority heating zones associated with the leading edge of the rotor are supplied with power to activate the priority heating zones multiple times during the de-ice process. Heating zones associated with a lower surface of the rotor may be activated after the priority heating zones are first activated. A first dwell may be waited, to allow additional ice accretion on the priority zones. The priority heating zones may then be reactivated after the first dwell. Heating zones associated with an upper surface of the rotor may be then be activated. A second dwell may be waited, to allow additional ice accretion on the priority zones. The de-ice process may then repeat.

    摘要: A multi-zone anti-icing system for an aircraft part. The system includes at least two or more-part zones configured with the aircraft part and an electrothermal heater associated with at least one part zone of the aircraft part; at least one resistive temperature detector (RTD) associated with each part zone of the aircraft part configured to generate temperature data associated with each part zone. A controller coupled to the electrothermal heater and configured to implement an algorithm of a control logic for an anti-icing operation that uses feedback temperature data from at least one RTD at an associated part zone wherein the feedback temperature data is analyzed by the controller via the algorithm to assess reliability of the temperature data generated by the at least one RTD associated with each part zone.
