Ice Detector For Improved Ice Detection At Near Freezing Condition

View page
US Patent:
20050218268, Oct 6, 2005
Filed:
Mar 31, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/814939
Inventors:
John Otto - Shakopee MN, US
Joseph Fanska - Burnsville MN, US
Kenneth Schram - Eden Prairie MN, US
John Severson - Eagan MN, US
David Owens - Bloomington MN, US
Dennis Cronin - Shakopee MN, US
Assignee:
Rosemount Aerospace Inc. - Burnsville MN
International Classification:
G08G001/09
US Classification:
24413400F
Abstract:
An ice detector for providing a signal indicating ice formation includes a probe protruding into an airflow. The probe extends into the airflow from a strut. The strut has one or more features which allow the probe to accrete ice at a higher temperature than would conventionally be possible. Strut features can include a notch formed therein in an upwind direction relative to the probe, and a curved surface adjacent a point of extension of the probe from the strut.

US Patent:
20050230553, Oct 20, 2005
Filed:
Mar 31, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/814384
Inventors:
John Otto - Shakopee MN, US
Joseph Fanska - Burnsville MN, US
Kenneth Schram - Eden Prairie MN, US
John Severson - Eagan MN, US
David Owens - Bloomington MN, US
Dennis Cronin - Shakopee MN, US
Assignee:
Rosemount Aerospace Inc. - Burnsville MN
International Classification:
B64D015/20
US Classification:
24413400F
Abstract:
An ice detector for providing a signal indicating ice formation includes a longitudinally extending probe protruding into an airflow. One or more surface roughness features on surfaces of the probe improve ice detection. Surface roughness features on the probe include ice accreting edges at a distal end of the probe and features arranged on a side surface of the probe which cause the airflow to increase in turbulence.
