Abstract: The disclosure describes a system for measuring glaze ice, comprising a glaze-ice detector, a device connected to the detector to generate a signal indicating the formation of a specific quantity of glaze ice on the detector, and another device which responds to the signal, and causes sufficient heating of the detector to melt the glaze ice formed on it. The detector is characterized by the fact that it removes the water formed by this melting of the glaze ice before a new quantity of glaze ice has formed on the detector and been detected. An advantage of this system is that it can detect any formation of glaze ice with accuracy and without error.
