  • System and method for detecting ice formation on a body
    Patent number: 11794909
    Abstract: The present invention relates, but without limitation, to a system and method for detecting the formation of ice on a surface of a body (1) on which an air stream impinges. Said system comprises: a first and a second temperature detectors (2, 5) with different thermal inertia; and an electro-optic module (10) connected to both detectors (2, 5). Thus, by calculating the different responses of the detectors (2, 5) it is possible to detect the ice formation on a body (1), and more advantageously, the almost instantaneously freezing of supercooled water on a body (1). The present invention can be applied to aircrafts, wind turbines or to electrical power transmission lines.
