Abstract:

Tests were conducted to determine most effective method of injecting de-icing fluids to remove heavy ice formation from the induction system and carburetor of aircraft engines. Experiments were made at 25 and 40 deg F to evaluate effect of inlet-air temperature on de-icing fluid effectiveness. Results show that use of de-icing fluids is inadequate as the sole means of de-icing induction system when it is subjected to severe icing conditions.
