ICE CRYSTAL ICING CONDITION SIMULATION METHOD AND SYSTEM

A method and apparatus for simulating icing conditions using a wind tunnel is provided. Water drops are sprayed from a number of nozzles into the wind tunnel. A mist of cryogenic liquid is sprayed into a path of the water drops downwind of the nozzles in the wind tunnel, wherein the mist of cryogeni...

Zusammenfassung:	A method and apparatus for simulating icing conditions using a wind tunnel is provided. Water drops are sprayed from a number of nozzles into the wind tunnel. A mist of cryogenic liquid is sprayed into a path of the water drops downwind of the nozzles in the wind tunnel, wherein the mist of cryogenic liquid turns the water drops into ice crystals. Il est décrit une méthode et un appareil pour simuler des conditions de glace à laide dune soufflerie aérodynamique. Des gouttes deau sont pulvérisées dans la soufflerie aérodynamique à partir dun nombre de buses. Une brume de liquide cryogénique est pulvérisée dans un passage des gouttes deau en aval des buses dans la soufflerie aérodynamique, la brume de liquide cryogénique convertissant les gouttes deau en cristaux de glace.
