    摘要: A plant for de-icing especially surfaces of aeroplanes, comprising the use of at least two sources (10, 12) of liquid media that are different from each other and capable of being sprayed separately or as a mixture, comprising a number of positive liquid pumps (16, 22) corresponding to the number of media, which pumps all have the same capacity or a predetermined interrelated capacity ratio and terminate in a common spray pipe (24). The connection of the liquid pumps to the sources includes at least one of the sources to at least one of the liquid pumps. In a hydraulic system comprising hydraulic motors (56, 52) for driving the liquid pumps (16, 22) at least two of motors are connected to a common hydraulic pressure pump (32) controlled by way of pressure compensation (33) to work with at least two pressure stages subject to a ratio corresponding to that of the capacity of at least one liquid pump to the total capacity of both liquid pumps. In such a plant the compostion of the spray liquid to be dispensed is determined solely by the capacity of the liquid pumps, thereby eliminating any throttling effects which may cause the de-icing medium to coagulate.

    摘要: A system for de-icing aircraft in a de-icing area includes a first recessed storage area located substantially below ground level on a first side of the de-icing area. A first spraying boom, having at least one boom section, is used to apply de-icing solution to surfaces of aircraft. A first spray nozzle, for applying de-icing solution to surfaces of aircraft, is supported by the first spraying boom. The first spraying boom may be raised out of the first recessed storage area when an aircraft needs de-icing and lowered into the first recessed storage area for storage when aircraft de-icing is complete.

    摘要: A single nonfired heat source, such as a diesel engine, drives a hydraulic pump. The hydraulic pump in turn is coupled in a hydraulic circuit with a back-pressure valve which loads the hydraulic pump and hence the diesel engine. The engine also circulates a heat exchanging fluid, such as engine coolant through a second circuit. Water or engine coolant is circulated through the second circuit by means of a pump driven by the diesel engine. An exhaust gas heat exchanger coupled to the exhaust gases from the engine may also be included within the water coolant, the exhaust gases or both, and is then transferred to noncirculating deicing fluid in a storage tank. Heat developed within the hydraulic circuit which loads the engine is also transferred to the noncirculating fluid in the storage tank. The heated noncirculating fluid may be gently stirred to increase heat exchange efficiency and then either pumped directly to the utilization site from the storage tank or pumped in a single pass through a heat exchanger thermally coupled through the water coolant heat exchanger, hydraulic heat exchanger, or both, and thence to the utilization site.

    摘要: An apparatus for both de-icing and anti-icing an aircraft in one "pass". A pair of units are positioned above and below the aircraft. Each unit has respective nozzles oriented in one direction for dispensing de-icing fluid/air onto the aircraft as it approaches the units. Each unit further has respective nozzles oriented in an opposite direction for dispensing anti-icing fluid/air onto the aircraft as the aircraft moves away from the units. The apparatus is bi-directional so that the aircraft may approach the apparatus from either of two opposite directions. Means are provided for collecting and recycling the run-off of the de-icing and anti-icing fluids, respectively.
