  • Ice protection device and method
    Patent number: 10321522
    Abstract: An ice protection device for an aircraft surface having a composite layer. The device comprises a layer of electrically conductive material configured to be located at an outer face of the composite layer and adapted to be heated by electromagnetic induction. The device also comprises a perimetric monophasic winding to heat an edge surrounding a delimited area of the electrically conductive layer, an inner monophasic or multiphasic winding to heat the inside of the delimited area of the perimetric monophasic winding, a control unit, to independently control the outer winding and the inner winding, the control unit being adapted to continuously operate the outer winding to avoid the formation of ice in the edge of the delimited area and also to operate the inner winding when the ice formed inside the delimited area is to be detached.
