GAS TURBINE ENGINE NACELLE ANTI-ICING SYSTEM

摘要

A gas turbine engine de-icing system includes a heat exchanger. A coolant loop is in fluid communication with the heat exchanger and is configured to circulate a coolant. An engine oil loop is in fluid communication with the heat exchanger and is configured to transfer heat to the coolant. A gas turbine engine inlet structure includes a cavity. A manifold is arranged in the cavity and is in fluid communication with the coolant loop. The manifold is configured to spray the coolant onto the gas turbine engine inlet structure to de-ice the gas turbine engine inlet structure.
