  • Aircraft ice protection system and method
    Patent number: 9309001
    Abstract: A system and method for ice protection of a component, wherein the system is adapted to be adhesively bonded to a surface of the component. The system includes a heating element layer, at least one thermally conductive adhesive layer that adhesively bonds a first side of the heating element layer to the component, an insulation layer, at least one thermally insulating adhesive layer that adhesively bonds a second side of the heating element to the insulation layer, an electrical bus bar adapted to provide a connection between a power supply and the heating element layer, and at least one temperature sensor.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 29, 2015
    Date of Patent: April 12, 2016

  • SYSTEM CONTAINING AN ELECTRIC HEATING ELEMENT AND METHOD FOR INSTALLATION AND USE THEREOF
    Publication number: 20140014776
    Abstract: A system and method thereof is provided for electrically heating a component. The system includes at least one heating element adapted to be adhesively bonded to a surface on the component and means for controlling flow and duration of an electrical current to the heating element from a power supply. The controlling means comprises a first heating cycle for curing an adhesive to bond the heating element to the surface and has a second heating cycle for providing ice protection to the surface.
