Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An ice protection system for a structure has at least one electro-thermal heating element carried by the structure and a controller for selectively controlling the operation of each heating element. The controller operates each heating element according to a selected duty cycle defined by a pattern of time intervals, the controller selecting the duty cycle at least partially in response to measurements of ambient conditions about the structure.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An ice management system for a structure, the system comprising: at least one electro-thermal heating element carried by the structure for heating a heated portion of the structure; and a controller for selectively controlling the operation of each heating element, the controller being configured to selectively adjust a control temperature band, the control temperature band comprising an upper control temperature and a lower control temperature; wh…
