Ice Protection System Design

NTI’s ice protection systems (IPS) design methodology is applicable to both bleed-air and electrical systems. 

NTI’s methodology provides maximum protection with minimum power and weight, and optimal holes/sensors/relief valves’ location and distribution.

NTI’s 3-D approach is truly scientific and not heuristic and can provide:

• Trade-off study of different ice protection systems,
• Impingement limits and collection efficiency for complex configurations,
• Optimal electro-thermal power and cycling,
• System performance for anti-icing and de-icing protection,
• System performance at off-design conditions,
• Residual ice,
• NTI can conduct sensitivity analyses of airfoils to evaluate potential for out-of-envelope or unusual icing formations, 
• Design review by expert team spanning the scientific, experimental and operational aspects of the icing problem.
