ENHANCED TEMPERATURE CONTROL ANTI-ICE NOZZLE

摘要

Systems, methods, and apparatus are disclosed for preventing formation of ice on an engine. Apparatus may include a nozzle housing coupled to a compression stage of the engine and further coupled to a leading edge housing of the engine. The nozzle housing may receive gases from the compression stage of the engine. The nozzle housing may include a first nozzle that may be configured to generate a first flow pattern and may be further configured to generate a first flow of a first portion of the gases into the leading edge housing based on the first flow pattern. The nozzle housing may also include a second nozzle that includes a concentric nozzle configured to generate a second flow pattern. The second nozzle may be configured to generate a second flow of a second portion of the gases into the leading edge housing based on the second flow pattern.

1. An apparatus for preventing formation of ice on an engine, the apparatus comprising:
a nozzle housing having an internal cavity defining an internal volume of the nozzle housing, wherein the nozzle housing is configured to receive gases from a compression stage of the engine, and wherein the nozzle housing is further configured to provide at least some of the gases to a leading edge housing of the engine; a first nozzle included in a first portion of the nozzle housing, wherein the first nozzle is configured to generate a first flow pattern, and is further configured to generate a first flow of a first portion of the gases into an internal volume of the leading edge housing based on the first flow pattern; and a second nozzle included in a second portion of the nozzle housing, wherein the second nozzle includes a concentric nozzle configured to generate a second flow pattern, wherein the second nozzle is configured to generate a second flow of a second portion of the gases into the internal volume of the leading edge housing based on the second flow pattern.
