Purpose of Tests
The icing test is conducted to evaluate the effect of icing on the operational capability of materiel
Effects of acceleration :
- a. Binds moving parts together.
- b. Adds weight to radar antennas, aerodynamic control surfaces, helicopter rotors, etc.
- c. Increases footing hazards for personnel.
- d. Interferes with clearances between moving parts.
- e. Induces structural failures.
- f. Reduces airflow efficiency as in cooling systems or filters.
- g. Impedes visibility through windshields and optical devices.
- h. Affects transmission of electromagnetic radiation
- j. Reduces efficiency of aerodynamic lifting and control surfaces.
- k. Reduces (aircraft) stall margins.etc
Types of ice :
- Two types of ice are commonly encountered: rime ice (opaque/granular) and glaze ice (clear/smooth).
- a. Rime ice: A white or milky and opaque granular deposit of ice formed by a rapid freezing of super cooled water drops as they impinge upon an exposed object.
- b. Glaze ice: A coating of ice, generally clear and smooth but usually containing some air pockets, formed on exposed objects by the freezing of a film of super cooled water vapor.
