LASER ANEMOMETRY PROBE SYSTEM AND METHOD EMPLOYING CONTINUOUS COHERENT DETECTION, WITH SINGLE-PARTICLE MODE, CAPABLE OF DETECTING ICE-FORMING CONDITIONS AND OF DETERMINING THE SEVERITY OF ICING

摘要

The laser anemometry probe (LAP) system with continuous coherent detection, with single-particle mode, comprises means (AN) for analysing the measurement signals of the said probe (LAP) and means (MES_T) for measuring the temperature (T). The system comprises, furthermore, means (DET_CG) for determining icing conditions when means (DET_GEL) for detecting the presence of a liquid water drop detect the presence of a liquid water drop, and when the said temperature (T) is below the said third threshold (S3).
