DE-ICING SYSTEM AND METHOD

A method of detecting that ice (130) has been shed from an external surface (111) of a component (110) is provided, the method comprising applying power to a heating means (120) to provide heat to said external surface (111). The method further comprises sensing the temperature of the component (110...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A method of detecting that ice (130) has been shed from an external surface (111) of a component (110) is provided, the method comprising applying power to a heating means (120) to provide heat to said external surface (111). The method further comprises sensing the temperature of the component (110) and calculating the rate of change of temperature increase of the external surface (111) over time. Further, the method comprises detecting a change in said rate of change of temperature increase over time, wherein said detected change in rate of change of temperature increase indicates that said ice has been shed from said external surface (111) of said component (100).
