Liquid Based Ice Protection Test Systems And Methods

View page
US Patent:
20100116042, May 13, 2010
Filed:
Sep 1, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/552122
Inventors:
Vicki S. Johnson - Bel Aire KS, US
Derek W. Rounds - Wichita KS, US
Lawrence R. Nelson - Wichita KS, US
Jeffrey G. Wyckoff - Wellington KS, US
Robin L. Young - Wichita KS, US
International Classification:
G01M 19/00
US Classification:
7311803
Abstract:
A liquid based ice protection test method tests an aircraft part that includes at least a first heating element mounted on an inside surface of an aircraft skin. The method includes bringing the aircraft skin into contact with a low temperature bath and taking one or more temperature readings of the aircraft skin. A liquid based deicing test system includes a container that holds a low temperature bath, a fixture to suspend the aircraft part within the container, and a temperature sensing device for reading temperatures on an outside surface of the aircraft part. A liquid based ice protection test method includes sealing off ends of an aircraft part, attaching at least one temperature sensing device on the aircraft part and at least partially submerging it in a low temperature bath, and obtaining temperature information from the temperature sensing device.

US Patent:
20110297789, Dec 8, 2011
Filed:
Jun 8, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/796401
Inventors:
John W. Gallman - Wichita KS, US
Vicki S. Johnson - Bel Aire KS, US
Derek William Rounds - Wichita KS, US
Jim R. Hoppins - Wichita KS, US
International Classification:
B64D 15/00
G06F 19/00
G01W 1/00
US Classification:
244134 R, 702 3, 702176
Abstract:
An aircraft de-icing system and method for removing the ice from the surface of an aircraft. The aircraft de-icing system reduces power requirements by allocating power from a single power source between the parting strip elements and the shed zone elements. The aircraft de-icing system may utilize a measurement of heat transfer to schedule the time necessary to shed ice from the surface of the aircraft. The de-icing system may also utilize a method for calculating the ice accumulation on the surface of the aircraft based on the outside air temperature.

Appl. No.:
13/964837
Inventors:
- , unknown
Derek W. Rounds - Wichita KS, US
Lawrence R. Nelson - Wichita KS, US
Jeffrey G. Wyckoff - Wellington KS, US
Robin L. Young - Wichita KS, US
International Classification:
G01K 13/00
US Classification:
7311803
Abstract:
A liquid based ice protection test system for testing an aircraft part having a first heating element comprises a tub configured for retaining a low temperature bath. The system also includes a first support member for suspending the aircraft part in the tub and a first temperature sensing device for sensing temperatures from one or more locations of a skin of the aircraft part.
