SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PREVENTING ICE CRYSTAL ACCRETION IN GAS TURBINE ENGINES

摘要

A system and method of operating an engine anti-ice system includes supplying heat from one or more heat sources to one or more components on or within a gas turbine engine, sensing data representative of one or more parameters related to ice crystal accretion, and based on the data, at least selectively inhibiting at least selected ones of the one or more heat sources from supplying heat to at least selected ones of the one or more components on or within the gas turbine engine.

1. An engine anti-ice system, comprising:
one or more heat sources configured to selectively heat one or more components on or within a gas turbine engine; one or more sensor data sources configured to supply data representative of one or more parameters related to ice crystal accretion; and a controller coupled to receive the data from the one or more sensors and configured, in response to the data, to selectively at least inhibit at least selected ones of the one or more heat sources from supplying heat to at least selected ones of the one or more components on or within the gas turbine engine.
