Abstract: A device and method for measuring ice thickness on a first surface of a construction element. The device includes a sensor arrangement arranged in connection with the construction element and arranged to provide signals related to an impedance. A processing unit is coupled to the sensor arrangement and arranged to determine the presence of ice based on the provided impedance signals. A reference sensor arrangement is arranged to generate reference impedance measurement signals. The processing unit is further arranged to determine the ice thickness based on determinations of a relation between the impedance signals determined by the sensor arrangement and the reference impedance values generated by the reference sensor arrangement.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a de-icing arrangement for de-icing a structural element {170; 270; 370). The structural element could be made of a whole polymeric or metallic material. The arrangement comprises a power source (250) being electrically connected to an electrode configuration (200), said power source is arranged to, when applicable, electrically charge said electrode configuration (200). The electrode configuration (200) is arranged to generate an impulsive force (Fn) for removal of ice adhered on said structural element (170; 270; 370). The invention relates to a method for de-icing a structural element. The invention also relates to a computer program and a computer program product. The invention also relates to a platform carrying the arrangement.
