    摘要: A method for applying a fluid, such as deicing fluid, to a surface of an airplane. A vehicle loaded with a fluid has a nozzle for spraying said fluid onto said surface and at least one sensor and a processing unit is provided for determining a 3D representation of the surface onto which fluid is to be added. The 3D representation is used to determine boundary conditions for a path along which the nozzle is moved relative to the surface and the fluid is being dispensed onto the surface as said nozzle is being moved along the path.

    摘要: The invention provides a method of sampling de-icing fluid from an airplane de-icer having a spraying nozzle for spraying the de-icing fluid onto a surface of an airplane, the de-icing fluid preferably being produced by the airplane de-icer by mixing a number of ingredients. The method comprises the steps of: i) obtaining a limited sample of the de-icing fluid by diverting at least a part of the de-icing fluid flowing towards the spraying nozzle for a period of time during the spraying of the de-icing fluid onto the surface of the airplane, and ii) collecting sample of the de-icing fluid in a sample container. A system for sampling de-icing fluid is also provided as well as an airplane de-icer comprising the system.

    摘要: A deicing and/or anti-icing liquid recovery system for recovering deicing and/or anti-icing liquids from airport apron/deicing platform surfaces, the system includes: a deicing-liquid recovery unit; a pump; and a collection tank, where the deicing/anti-icing liquid recovery unit includes a rotatable brush; a baffle; and a sorting tray fluidly connectable to said collection tank via pump, where the rotatable cylindrical brush is arranged to sweep a apron/deicing platform surface such that materials on the apron/deicing platform surface is forced over the baffle and into the sorting tray, wherein said filter is configured to separate liquids and solid phase materials from said swept-up material, and where liquids collected in the sorting tray can be pumped to the collection tank via said pump.
