Module 15. Gas turbine engine

Turboprop engine inlet anti-ice system operates

  • cyclically independent on weather conditions.
  • cyclically dependant on weather conditions.
  • continuously.

Explanation

An anti-icing system is designed to prevent ice forming, so a turboprop inlet anti-ice system operates continuously while it is selected on. This contrasts with a de-icing system, which lets ice build and then cycles to shed it; anti-icing keeps the surface warm all the time.

Diverdeep asking:

turbine engine theoretically has 2 sections the main one operates continuously and the second one operates cyclically to avoid overload of the electric system
