compact millimeterwellentechnisches system for de icing and / or prevention of icing of the outer surface of meteorological influences exposed cavity or schalenstrukturen

摘要

In a millimeter wave de-icing system for the front areas of exposed shell structures, at least one independently operable millimeter wave generator is disposed in each shell structure closely adjacent the surfaces of the shell structure to be de-iced or kept free of ice and uncoupling structures are flanged to the microwave generators and have uncoupling openings disposed along the areas of the shell structure to be heated so as to provide a millimeter wave front directed toward this area. The area subjected to the wavefront includes walls of a dielectric composite material with a metallic skin whereby the millimeter wave front penetrates the wall and at least partially is converted into heat within the wall of composite material thereby providing for rapid and effective heat supply to the wall areas of the shell structure to be kept free of ice.
