Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method and system providing an airflow to a wing anti-ice system includes receiving an airflow from an outside air supply, compressing the airflow via an electric compressor, controlling a temperature of the airflow from the electric air compressor via a heat exchanger in fluid communication with the electric compressor and the wing anti-ice system, and providing the airflow to the wing anti-ice system via the heat exchanger.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An aircraft wing anti-ice system, comprising: a plurality of piccolo tubes; and a system to provide an airflow to the plurality of piccolo tubes, comprising: an electric compressor to compress the airflow from an ambient outside air supply, wherein the ambient outside air supply does not comprise bleed air from an aircraft engine; and a heat exchanger in fluid communication with the electric compressor and the wing anti-ice system, to control a temperature of the airflow from the electric compressor. 2. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a bypass valve in fluid communication with the electric compressor and the wing anti-ice system, to selectively bypass the heat exchanger. 3. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a controller to selectively engage and disengage the electric compressor. 4. The system of claim 3 , further comprising a temperature sensor in fluid communication with the wing anti-ice system to provide a temperature signal to the controller. 5. The system of claim 3 , further comprising a pressure sensor in fluid communication with the wing anti-ice system to provide a pressure signal to the controller. 6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the electric compressor is in fluid communication with an environmental control system. 7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the electric compressor is selectively engagable, disengageable, or adjustable during operation of the system in response to a signal from a sensor in fluid communication with the wing anti-ice system.
