3.20 Anti-Ice, Rain-System Description

Introduction
The anti–ice and rain systems include:
• automatic ice detection • flight deck window heat
• engine anti–ice • windshield wipers
• wing anti–ice • probe heat.

Automatic Ice Detection System

The automatic ice detection system detects airplane icing in flight. The system
consists of two ice detector probes on the forward fuselage. The system provides
signals to control the engine and wing anti–ice systems when those systems are in
the automatic mode.
Automatic ice detection is inhibited on the ground.

Engine Anti–Ice System

The engine anti–ice system uses engine bleed air to provide engine cowl inlet ice
protection. Engine anti–ice can be operated in flight or on the ground. The engine
anti–ice indication EAI is displayed above the EICAS N1 indication when an
engine anti–ice valve is open. The left and right engines have identical,
independent anti–ice systems. This allows the remaining system to operate if one
engine is shutdown.
Engine Anti–Ice System Automatic Operation
In flight, when the ENGINE ANTI–ICE selector is in AUTO, engine anti–ice
system operation is automatic. When ice is detected, the engine anti–ice valves
open and bleed air is supplied to the engine inlet cowl.
When ice is no longer detected, the engine anti–ice valves close and bleed air is
no longer supplied to the engine inlet cowl.
Engine Anti–Ice System Manual Operation
On the ground or in flight, when the ENGINE ANTI–ICE selector is ON, engine
bleed air opens the engine anti-ice valve and bleed air is supplied to the engine
inlet cowl.
Engine Anti–Ice Leak Detection System
Each engine has an anti–ice system duct leak detection system. If an anti–ice duct
leak is detected, the respective engine anti–ice valve closes.

Wing Anti–Ice System

The wing anti–ice system provides bleed air to three midwing leading edge slats
on each wing. Wing anti–ice is inhibited on the ground. When TAT is above 10
degrees C, wing anti-ice is inhibited for five minutes after takeoff.
The wing anti–ice annunciation WAI is displayed below the EICAS N1 indication
when a wing anti–ice valve is open. If a bleed source is unavailable and bleed duct
isolation has not occurred, the isolation valves open automatically to maintain
anti–icing to both wings.
Wing Anti–Ice System Automatic Operation
In flight, when the WING ANTI–ICE selector is in AUTO, wing anti–ice system
operation is automatic. When ice is detected, the wing anti–ice valves open and
bleed air is supplied to the leading edge slats. When ice is no longer detected, the
wing anti–ice valves close and bleed air is no longer supplied to the slats. If one
wing anti–ice valve fails closed, the wing anti–ice system automatically closes the
other valve to prevent asymmetrical wing anti–icing.
Automatic wing anti–ice operation is also inhibited for 10 minutes after takeoff.
Wing Anti–Ice System Manual Operation
In flight, when the WING ANTI–ICE selector is ON the wing anti–ice valve in
each wing opens and bleed air is supplied to the leading edge slats.
Wing Anti–Ice System Leak Detection System
The bleed duct leak and overheat detection system provides wing anti-ice leak
detection.

Flight Deck Window Heat

All flight deck windows are electrically heated. The forward windows have
exterior surface anti–icing, and interior surface antifogging protection. The side
windows have interior surface antifogging protection only.
The WINDOW HEAT switches control heating for all flight deck windows.
A backup antifogging system for the forward windows operates automatically if
the primary window heat system fails.

Windshield Wipers
The forward windows are equipped with independently controlled, two–speed
wipers. When the WIPER selector in OFF, the respective wiper is off and stowed.

Probe Heat
Three pitot probes and two angle of attack probes are electrically heated for
anti-ice protection when either engine is operating.
The total air temperature probe is electrically heated for anti-ice protection in
flight.
