Anti-Icing for Total Air Temperature Sensor
Total Air Temperature (TAT) Sensor:
We produce TAT sensors fully equipped with anti-icing elements and also the anti-icing system separately when the customer self-manages the complete probe development and manufacturing. The THERMOCOAX’s anti-icing technology is based on true cold ends but the most important is the small anti-icing cable diameter for complex integration in the probe’s body.
Key Parameters for Anti-Icing Probe
Range: -54°C up to +150°C
TAT Body: SS316, Inconel , Titatnium
Available with thermocouple class 1 or Platinum RTD class A
Single or dual element design for redundancy
Recovery Factor better than 0.96
Up to Mach 0.8
Robust housing for on-board application
Anti-icing system integrated in the tip of the probe
Self-regulation technology with Nickel or Balco
Qualification RTCA DO 160 -MIL
NIST calibration
Response time in wind tunnel up to Mach 0.6
Anti-Icing for Pitot Tube Sensor
Static and Dynamic Pitot Tube Probe Sensor:
The anti-icing heating cable is shaped around the dynamic and static air pipes. For a better conductivity and to withstand flying conditions, anti-icing cable and pipe are brazed together.
The power is defined as a function of the power supplied on the aircraft and the outer casing is designed to have a good anti-icing system.
Key parameters for anti-icing in pitot probe:
- Built to customer's specification
- Mineral Insulated cable manufactured in house
- Self-Regulated
- Nickel or Inconel sheath alloy
- True cold end
- Spiral design, twin cores
Example:
160 watt, less than155 volt 400Hz
MIL and/or RDO160-rated
HALT Tests
