temperature or high humidity conditions.
• ECAM warning message appears.
Ice build-up around the inlet cowl leading edge could affect engine
performance and cause engine damage from ice ingestion. Ground Running

To prevent ice formation, the following ice protection systems have
been incorporated into the engine.
• Thermally heated inlet cowl leading edge
• Thermally heated P2/T2 probe mounted in the inlet cowl
• Ice protected flexible rubber tip on the spinner of the fan

(OAT) is less than 5.5°C (42°F) and the humidity is high, for
example, during rain, sleet, snow, and fog (visibility less than one
mile).
If the above conditions exist, the inlet Ice Protection System must
be selected “ON” to open the TAI valve as soon as the engine
stabilizes at low idle conditions after an engine start.
P2/T2 Probe Heater

Inlet Cowl Ice Protection System
A selector switch on the flight deck for the Inlet Cowl Ice Protection
System opens and closes the Thermal Anti-Icing (TAI) control valve.
The valve allows hot air taken from the HPC Stage 7 to flow across
the inlet cowl leading edge.
The P2/T2 probe is automatically and continuously heated during
operation by an integral 115V heating coil.
Spinner
A solid rubber nose tip protects the spinner against ice build-up.
The nose tip naturally vibrates to break up and dislodge ice
immediately as it starts to form.

Description:

The TAI control valve is made up of the following items:

• valve body
• linear moving piston

• control solenoid

• air filter

• butterfly valve

• micro switch

• manual override (as per MMEL requirements).

ECAM INDICATIONS

The engine anti-icing valve has a micro switch which will feedback
the valve position in relation to the selector switch position.

When the engine anti-ice valve is selected ON, an ECAM memo

message appears on the lower right side of the upper ECAM
screen.

• ENG A ICE

The selector switch legend “ON” illuminates in blue.

The “FAULT” legend of the selector switch illuminates in amber

when a disagreement exists between the selector switch and the
micro-switch output signal to the EEC. Fault detection occurs when
a valve fails to either open or close.

The upper ECAM screen will display one of the following WARNING
and STATUS messages that relate to the switch position and the
intended valve position. Messages are engine-specific.

• ENG 1(2) VALVE CLSD

• ENG 1(2) VALVE OPEN

TAI VALVE MANUAL OVERRIDE PROCEDURE

If an anti-icing valve fails to open or close, the engineer can

override and secure the valve, as per MMEL requirement.

Lack of anti-icing duct pressure allows the valve to be moved to the

desired position. This is accomplished by application of a torque no
greater than 70 inch-pounds to the hexagonal nut attached to the
butterfly shaft.

To lock the valve, insert the locking pin through the locking hole on
the valve body and into the mating hole in the piston. A ball detent
mechanism on the end of the locking pin retains the pin in the hole
corresponding to the desired valve position. A visual indicator
shows the position of the valve.

NOTE

If the valve fails in the closed position, it is advisable to avoid icing

conditions. If the valve fails in the open position, there will be a
thrust limit penalty. One or both valves may be in the open position
provided the performance penalties are applied and OAT does not
exceed ISA +35° C.

For extended range operations, only one valve can be in the failed-
closed position, and only if the aircraft is not operating in icing
conditions.
