Definitions
- the invention relates to methods, systems and structures for conductor surface heating and for removing ice and snow from surfaces, in particular, but not exclusively, from overhead power conductors and aircrafts.
- Inductive-based anti-icing systems for aircrafts have also been proposed.
- surfaces are heated by making them part of a magnetic circuit that includes transformer assemblies inside a wing or aerofoil.
- This scheme albeit functional, requires bulky and heavy magnetic devices inside the wing profile, which is not always desirable.
- Electric defrosting of glass windows and mirrors is also universally used in motor cars and street vehicles, and conventionally uses ohmic resistive tracks on the glass or, for the fore windshield, warm air heating.
- Such systems could be effective in vehicles powered by a conventional thermal plant.
- In of low-emission electric or hybrid vehicles however, they draw their supply from the batteries, and their use can seriously limit performances and range.
- CA2735341 and US2006272340 describe anti-icing devices based on the application high-current pulses
- US6723971 , WO0033614, US6427946, US2002017466 disclose anti- icing systems by which the interfacial ice is subject to a DC field that eventually leads to its detachment by a combination of electrolysis, ohmic heating, and sparking.
- US2002175152 and WO0052966 disclose an anti-icing system for overhead conductors including a lossy coating that could be ferromagnetic. [0015] There is therefore a need for anti-icing devices free from the above shortcomings.
- Figure 1 illustrates a ferromagnetic coating on a conductor (heated object) with a thickness comparable to a skin layer for this ferromagnetic material
- Figure 2 shows a wound ferromagnetic conductor (mechanically wound or coated in the form of a spiral) around a heated object;
- Figure 3 depicts a ferromagnetic coating on a conductor together with a wound ferromagnetic conductor around the heated object
- Figure 4 illustrates a system for applying an AC source, e.g., a kHz-generator with matching circuit coupled to the heated object;
- Figures 5a-5d show heated objects with different forms and cross sections, single or multi conductors;
- Figures 6 a-b illustrate a ferromagnetic coating forming a spiral- shaped circuit on a flat or quasi flat heated surface
- Figures 7-8 depict measured heating test results for 20 mm2 aluminum wires by using of 20kHz/8A generator and of 50Hz/16A line current with not coated original wire, with 100 microns nickel coating on aluminum and a mechanically wound Fe-Zn 0.6 mm wire around an aluminum wire with three different steps of winding.
- Figure 9 shows measured heating test results for 20 mm2 aluminium wires by using of 50Hz line current, and compares temperatures reached by the uncoated original wire with those measured on an aluminium wire coated with 100 microns nickel, at three current values: 16, 80 and 100 A.
- Figure 10 illustrates schematically in section a ferromagnetic-clad wire that can be used in the frame of the invention
- Figure 1 1 shows schematically an aircraft having circuits of a ferromagnetic conductor on part of its surfaces, for de-icing.
- Figure 1 shows schematically a conductor 1 that represents an object on which ice can accumulate, and on which ice build-up is countered by the system of the present invention.
- the conductor 1 could be a section of a power transmission line, as the drawing suggests, but, according to the application, may take other forms like for example, a fuselage or any external surface of an aircraft, a train railway, and so on.
- An important aspect of the present invention is that the conductor has an outer surface 2 on which circulate AC high-frequency currents generated by a suitable high-frequency power source. In this manner, the local surface temperature rises, thus negating ice build-up, or promoting the fall of existing ice.
- the frequency generated may vary, according to the impedance and to the physical features of the object 1, but it may be loosely placed in a range of about 1 .0 kHz to 100 kHz.
- the surface 2 of the conductor 1 is a magnetic layer, for example a thin film of a ferromagnetic compound, deposited, painted, glued, sprayed, or applied by any suitable means.
- ⁇ (2p / ⁇ ⁇ ) ⁇ /2
- the heating currents are sensibly confined in a thin layer at the surface of the object, and the local heating effect is enhanced.
- Nickel deposited by an arc-plasma facility, was found particularly effective, but this is not a limitation of the invention.
- Nickel can be layered effectively on a variety of known substrates by physical or galvanic techniques. Since it is highly resistant to corrosion, it forms a protective layer, and its properties of adhesion are excellent.
- the conductive ferromagnetic layer of the invention could be part of a sandwiched structure, comprising a plurality of layers having different constitutions and functions.
- the conductive magnetic coating 2 one could add, for example, a protection layer, in order to shield the magnetic coating from abrasion, and/or an hydrophobic coating, in order to prevent adhesion of ice and water, or/and an anti-slip coating, with the same purpose.
- a protection layer in order to shield the magnetic coating from abrasion
- an hydrophobic coating in order to prevent adhesion of ice and water, or/and an anti-slip coating, with the same purpose.
- the invention could optionally foresee an adhesion-promoting layer, and/or a thermal isolation layer, such that the heating effect of the invention is directed preferably to the outside ice rather than to the substrate.
- Another advantage of the present invention over other systems based, for example on ohmic heating by resistive circuits patterned on the surface, is that the system is robust against point failures. If the circuit is interrupted, in fact, High frequency currents continue circulating and can bypass the failure point either capacitively and via the substrate.
- Figure 2 shows a variant of the invention in which the continuous coating 2 is replaced by a plurality of parallel ferromagnetic conductors 3, or by an helical winding 3.
- the AC high frequency current may be injected in the main conductor 1 , or directly in the winding 3.
- the structures of Figures 1 and 2 can also be combined together, as shown in figure 3.
- the power source may be coupled to the line with the disposition represented schematically in figure 4, A matching circuit composed by capacitors 5, 6 is used to stop the low frequency mains component.
- the invention can be applied to object having a variety of shapes and sections, and, particularly when the ferromagnetic coating is applied as a thin film, it can be particularly cost-effective.
- Figures 5a to 5d show schematically several different possible conductor sections, both solid and multi-wire to which the system of the invention can be applied.
- the frequency of the generator can range anywhere from 0.4 to 100 kHz, the higher frequencies generally providing a stronger heating and de-icing effect.
- the frequency generated by the source 4 is tuned to the impedance of the target system, to balance ferromagnetic surface heating and skin-effect heating.
- This can be designed in the system or, where appropriate, tuneable generators can be used.
- the surface power density delivered by the system is determined by the amount of circulating current, and by the thickness of the
- the power can be regulated according to the
- the circuit 3 could consist in a patterned ferromagnetic thin layer deposed on the surface that must be protected, or else could be a wire or foil cladded with layer of
- ferromagnetic layer that is applied, glued, inserted, bonded to the surface that must be protected, or otherwise put in thermal contact therewith.
- Figure 10 shows a cross-section of a wire that could be used in this particular embodiment of the invention.
- the wire consist in a central core 40 with an outer cladding 45 of a ferromagnetic material.
- the section of the wire 39 need not be circular, as represented, nor must the cladding 35 completely encircle the core 40.
- the inner core 40 can be metallic, for example steel, copper or aluminium, but also a synthetic material.
- the thickness of the cladding 45 is determined in relation to its magnetic properties and to the frequency of the current that the wire 39 should carry, such that the current is confined in the cladding.
- the cladding 35 of wire 39 could be realized by a Fe-Ni alloy, or a Fe-Co alloy, or comprise metal oxides, and be deposited by magnetron sputtering, gas dynamic cold spray system, as it will be explained in the following, arc, plasma, or any suitable technique.
- the thickness of the ferromagnetic cladding will be comprised from 0 and 1 mm, preferably higher than 300 ⁇ , but even thinner layers could be effective, dependent from the thermal power desired and the AC supply frequency.
- Figure 1 1 shows a possible embodiment of the present invention in which an aircraft has circuits 37 on the aerodynamic surfaces like wings, ailerons, and the like that are realized with a ferromagnetic material. These circuits can be obtained by depositing a ferromagnetic layer directly on the aircraft surface, or by laying ferromagnetic-clad wires 39 as shown above. Importantly, this form of execution can easily be applied surfaces of composite materials: Fe-Ni layers can be coated directly on composite- reinforced resin, while ferromagnetic-clad wires can be adhesively bond thereupon or incorporated in the resin itself before curing.
- the shape and dimension of the circuits 37 can be modified, depending from the size and geometry of the surface that ought to be protected from ice.
- the invention is not limited to the specific shape that is presented in the figure by way of example. It must be understood that the present invention is not limited to an airliner, as represented in the figure, but could be used in any airplane, drone, helicopter, balloon, or any other kind of aerial vehicle.
- the circuit 37 is connected to a suitable high-frequency generator that delivers current at a frequency comprised, preferably, between 0.4 and 100 kHz.
- a suitable high-frequency generator that delivers current at a frequency comprised, preferably, between 0.4 and 100 kHz.
- Such generator can be comprised in the ordinary aircraft's equipment and need not be placed close to the surfaces that must be protected from ice. In this manner the invention achieves an effective de- icing, without adding weight to the aerodynamic surfaces, or using space inside the wings.
- Many airliners have electrical generators that generate 400 Hz AC current, and are driven by the engines through a constant speed drive gearbox.

- the mechanical properties of the sprayed object for example the flexibility in the case of a conductor wire, are not significantly altered.
- Cold spray technology is used in a wide range of surfacing applications, manufacturing, repair and coating. They are particularly suitable for creating strong coatings in good electric contact with the substrate, even on metals with an impervious oxide barrier, like for example aluminium. If required, micro- or nano-particles of corundum, or a similar abrasive agent, can be added to the powder composition for surface cleaning.
- the cold spray coating technology can be used advantageously to coat a ferromagnetic layer on a conductor, for example a copper or aluminium conductor's surface, or on an electric power transmission cable, that has a desired combination of magnetic properties and Curie temperature.
- a conductor for example a copper or aluminium conductor's surface, or on an electric power transmission cable, that has a desired combination of magnetic properties and Curie temperature.

- Several known materials can be used to realize magnetic coating with a Curie temperature close to this value.
- the mains current at 50 or 60 Hz transmitted by the conductor will generate the required thermal power and keep the cable free from ice without external intervention or additional power supplies.
- the magnetic coating comprises one or several Thermomagnetic Alloys with Curie point values are between-40 and 200 °C, for example copper-nickel alloys (30- 40% Cu), iron-nickel (30%-38% Ni), and iron-nickel alloys (30-38%

- the properties can be prepared and pulverized to nano- or micro-particles suitable for gas-dynamic cold spraying.
- the deposition temperature can vary, in function of the chosen material, but favourable results have been obtained with deposition temperatures lower than 100 °C.
- Magnetic properties of the magnetic coating and the heating of this coating by the alternative current depend strongly from the coating density and on presence of emptiness in this coating.
- a prepared mixture of metallic micro- or nano-particles contains two or more groups of powders with different particles sizes. Particles with a smaller size fill spaces between a bigger particles. This special prepared mixture increases the coating density and improves the magnetic properties. The bigger size particles are useful to increase of the particles kinetic energy and for better adhesion of sprayed coating.
- the Curie temperature depends strongly, as we have seen above, from the relative concentrations of its constituents. The difference of components material densities gives a different particles velocities and a different kinetic energies that can give a not identical Curie temperature on coating thickness. A prepared mixture of metallic micro- or nano-particles contains bigger size particles of easier components and smaller size of heavier components that gives the identical weight of all particles.
- the invention can also include a step of melting, annealing, or applying a suitable heat treatment to the magnetic coating after it has been deposited to the substrate.
- the ferromagnetic layer of the invention can also be deposited by a technique of Atmospheric Plasma Spray gun for thermal spray or plasma torch.
- the inventors find that these techniques allow to depose layers with higher magnetic quality.
- the plasma torches employed are of the non-transferred DC type, with electrodes internal to the body/housing of the torch itself.
- the thickness of the ferromagnetic layer will be chosen in function of the thermal power that is required to effectively protect the line from ice, and preferably will be higher than 300 ⁇ .
