Why Anti-Icing?
Anti-icing equipment is a strategic component for avionic probes. It is designed to keep outer avionic sensors skin of Total air temperature probes and Pitot tubes free of ice while in flight. Our R&D and Engineering teams are working for the best anti-icing design to obtain the most efficient sensor and also the most reliability to fit with aircraft MTBF.
The THERMOCOAX’s anti-icing solution is innovative due to its self-regulated technology. We have a daily challenge to get the best cost/benefit ratio to make our customer competitive on the market.
Anti-Icing for Total Air Temperature Sensor
Total Air Temperature (TAT) Sensor :
We produce TAT sensors fully equipped with anti-icing elements and also the anti-icing system separately when the customer self-manages the complete probe development and manufacturing. The THERMOCOAX’s anti-icing technology is based on true cold ends but the most important is the small anti-icing cable diameter for complex integration in the probe’s body.
