  • Power distribution architecture for an ice protection system
    Patent number: 7922121
    Abstract: An ice protection system for a vehicle is disclosed which includes a plurality of de-ice power distribution units positioned proximate to a leading edge surface of the vehicle that is susceptible to ice accretion, at least two anti-ice power distribution units located within the vehicle, spaced from the de-ice power distribution units, and a point of power regulation located within the vehicle, spaced from the power distribution units, from which power is fed to the power distribution units through independent feeder wire bundles so as to distribute line current across the system in a manner that optimizes wire weight.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 15, 2007
    Date of Patent: April 12, 2011
    Assignee: Rosemount Aerospace Inc.
