PASSIVE ANTI-ICING SYSTEM USING PASS-THROUGH EVAPORATOR CAPILLARY PUMPED LOOP

This work presents the development of an anti-icing system that utilizes a two-phase passive system to bring the heat power from pressurized hot air present in the vicinity of the engine, to the surface of the engine air intake to protect it against icing. A full scale model has been built and tested in laboratory conditions to validate the concept and assess its efficiency.
