Ice Protection
The ice protection systems prevent icing on critical areas on the airplane
and helps maintain aerodynamic efficiency by protecting:
Rain Protection
The rain protection systems increase forward visibility through use of:
Windshield wipers
Rain repellent
Three outboard slate on each wing are anti-iced with engine bleed air.
The Pilot’s overhead (P5) control panel, wing thermal anti-ice (TAT)
valves, temperature and pressure switches, valve lights and the engine
Indicating and crew alerting system (EICAS), are used to control and
monitor the system.
The system can be tested with a switch on the P61 test panel.
The leading edge of the engine nose cowls are anti-iced with engine bleed
air.
Probe Anti-Icing
The pitot static probes (two each side), angle of attack probes (AOA) (one
each side), and one total air temperature probe (TAT) (on the left side) are
electrically heated.
A switch on the P61 test panel provides for system testing. Malfunctions
illuminate individual lights on the miscellaneous annunciator P5 panel and,
provide an input to the engine indicating and crew alerting system
(ETCAS) computer.
The two electrically operated windshield wipers are controlled from one
switch in the lower center of the P5 panel.
The rain repellent system sprays liquid repellent solution on the forward
windshields. The individual control switches are together on the windshield
control panel or the lower center of the P5 panel.
Insulation blankets, tape heaters and gasket heaters are used to prevent
freezing of the water supply lines, drain lines, and lavatory drain fittings in
areas susceptible to freezing. There are no control switches for the above
heaters, they are all controlled automatically.
There is one valve for each wing located above engine strut behind the
wing leading edge. It regulates pressure to 23 +/-3 psig. The valve is
solenoid controlled (non-latching) and is pneumatically operated. It has a
manual operation drive and lock for maintenance use. To lock, lift knob
and rotate 90 degrees clockwise.
Pressure Switch
One switch is in each wing just upstream of the wing overheat switch. It
closes at 34 psi and provides an input to the EICAS computer.
Telescoping Duct
One telescoping duct in each wing is located on the outboard side of the
No. 5 and No. 8 slats. It interconnects the wing feeder duct to the slat
spray tube.
Spray tubes spray bleed air into the leading edge cavity of the three
outboard slats only.
When in flight with the control switch on the Pilots’ overhead panel
selected ON, a circuit is completed through the air/ground relays, anti-ice
valve relay, and a time delay relay to the valve solenoid. When the
air/ground relays are in the ground position, the system can only be
operated by the test switch on the P61 panel.
The amber “VALVE” light illuminates for valve position disagreement or for
an “open” in the valve position indication circuit as provided through the
disagree relay(s).
The disagree relay(s) also activates the engine indicating and crew
alerting system (EICAS) computer which will display a level advisory on
the P2 panel cathode ray tube for improper valve position or for an “open”
in the valve position indication circuit.
When selected ON, the system will display a “VALVE” light until the time
delay relay energizes (2 seconds). When the valve opens, the amber
“VALVE” light extinguishes.
When the wing TAI is selected “ON” and either pressure regulating and
shutoff valve is off, air conditioning high flow schedule will be inhibited
through their control cards. At the same time a signal is sent to the
electronic fuel control EEC for engine trim.
The procedure for removing and installing the left or right valve is the
same. The valve must be isolated electrically (open C/Be) and there must
be air pressure in the pneumatic distribution system. One WARNING is
stated concerning hot ducting. Removing an upper wing panel directly
above the engine strut provides access for removal of the valve. After
removing the electrical connector, bonding jumpers, outboard clamp and
inboard coupling and seal assembly, the valve may be removed.
Installation is in the reverse order.
The wing anti-ice system must be electrically isolated (opening C/Bs). The
same WARNING applies for hot ducting as was stated for the wing anti-ice
valve. Removing a lower wing panel that is aft of the middle of the number
5 or number B slats will provide access to the switches. The electrical
connectors are locked wired and the switches are threaded into duct-
mounted bosses. Anti-seize compound is used when installing the
switches.
The Dispatch Deviations Guide (DDG) states that one or both wing anti-ice
valves may be inoperative closed provided the flight is flg operated in icing
conditions. To insure that the valve(s) do stay closed, they must be
manually locked.
Next, lift and rotate the lock-out knob to the LOCKED CLOSED position.

engine strut.
Physical Description/Features
The pressure switch is a normally open type that closes at 30 psig. The
switch assembly consists of a housing that has an electrical connection
on. one end and has a threaded nipple on the other end.
Operation/Control Sequence
The control switches are located on the PS Pilot’s overhead panel. When
the switch light is pushed, the “ON” label is displayed. The amber “VALVE”
light illuminates to indicate valve position disagreement.
After a 2-second time delay, the engine TAI control time delay relay
energizes, the valve open8 and the amber light extinguishes. This relay
also enables the high stage control circuit.
The pitot-static probe heat system provides anti-ice for the probes.
Switching relays automatically apply power to the probes under the proper
conditions. The current sensing relays initiate warnings to the crew if a
probe is not receiving heat while the airplane is either on the ground or in
the air.
The four pitot static probes (two each side) are electrically heated. They
are located slightly behind the No. 2 windows at about floor level.
The two angle of attack probes (AOA), located between the pitot static
probes, have an electrically heated vane and casing.
The total air temperature probe, located on the left side slightly below and
just outboard of the No. 1 window, is electrically heated.
Pitot-Static Probes
Overhead circuit breaker panel (P11) and main power distribution panel
(P6).
EICAS Messages
If, during the Probe Heat test, a probe heater circuit fails, EICAS will
provide an advisory message. One of four messages will be displayed for
the pitot-static probes. CAPT PITOT, L AUX PITOT, F/O PITOT or R AUX
PITOT. If a TAT probe heater circuit fails then the message TAT PROBE
will be displayed or as an option if the system has two TAT probes the
message will be L TAT PROBE or R TAT PROBE.
If an AOA probe heater circuit fails then the message will be L AOA
PROBE or R AOA PROBE. If two or more of any of the probes are not
operating the individual messages will be replaced with PROBE HEAT.
Window heat is provided through two controllers with BITE in each unit.
Each control unit has three channels. One channel controls window
number one, and the remaining two channels control opposite 2 and 3
aide windows. The controllers are located in the main equipment center
E2-l shelf (No. 2) and El-2 shelf (No. 1).
The temperature sensors are laminated into the windows. A spare sensor
is provided for each window. The No. 2 window use a coiled extension
cord for power and sensing leads and allows the window to be opened and
closed.

Physical Description/Features
Operation
The windshield wiper arm supports the blade. The pressure adjustment
bolt adjusts the force of the wiper blade on the windshield. Turning the bolt
clockwise increases pressure. Nominal blade pressure on the windscreen
is 15 pounds. Arm position screws allow arm adjustment to position the
wiper blade on the windshield.
The 27” wiper blades are bolted to the wiper arms. A plunger mechanism
with an angled lever holds the blade in the proper operating angle on the
windshield and aligns it in the parked position when the system is turned
off.
A lift block assembly holds the wiper blade away from the windshield in the
parked position and causes the angled lever and plunger mechanism to
align the blade.
CAUTION:
Do not allow wiper blade to move on a dry windshield.
A float type visual fluid level reservoir, directly below the shutoff valve,
allows a visual indication of need for bottle replacement. The pressure
gage below the visual indicator indicates system pressure.
The entire assembly is located on the bulkhead behind the first observer’s
station.
Two solenoid operated valves and an accumulator are located behind the
pilot’s (P2) panel. The valves dispense repellent fluid to the No. 1 left and
right windshields. The valves are operated from individual switches on the
pilots’ overhead (P5) panel.
The accumulator assists in purging the nozzles of fluid with bleed air.
Spray Nozzles
Two spray nozzles, one below each windshield, (No. 1 L & R) spray
repellent fluid on the windshield.
NOTE: The left solenoid valve and spray nozzle are not shown in
the expanded view.
Functional Description
Rain repellent from the pressurized bottle is available to the system when
it is screwed into the adaptor to open the valve in the bottle, Opening the
shutoff valve below the bottle will pressurize the system from the bottle
and force the fluid into the visual reservoir and the supply line up to the
solenoid valves. When the bottle is removed, its valve reseats.
The float indicator shows only when fluid level is depleted enough for
bottle replacement. The pressure gauge indicates system pressure from
the bottle. At 20 psi the pointer enters a yellow band labeled “REPLACE”.
NOTE:The visual float indicator may or may not show low fluid at this
time.
The shutoff valve, below the adaptor, when turned off for bottle
replacement, prevents repellent from being blown back out of the line
when the bottle is changed.
Bleed air from the pneumatic manifold, going through the accumulator,
purges repellent from the nozzles preventing clogging. The individually
controlled solenoid valves allow repellent to be sprayed on either of the
No. 1 windshields.
Control
A pushbutton switch to the left of the windshield wiper switch, (one for
each No. 1 windshield), when pushed, completes a circuit to the solenoid
valve. A time delay in the circuit allows the solenoid valve to be opened for
400 milliseconds, then closes it, stopping flow.
Servicing
The bottle is to be replaced when the float in the reservoir aligns with the
replacement mark on the sight level, or when the pressure gauge (below
the reservoir) does not read in the green band.
Remove/Install
Release bottle clamp and unscrew bottle from receptacle. Examine bottle
seat and 0-ring to ensure that tight seal will be obtained with new bottle.
Tighten clamp. Turn manual shutoff valve to vertical position. Check that
pressure gauge indicates in green band.
The forward and aft drain mast heaters are powered from the ground
service bus. When K205 senses airplane on the ground the power source
is switched to 28 VAC from the ground service bus. Notice that while the
airplane is on jacks the heaters will be powered by 115 VAC. Caution is
advised when working near the drain mast.
Heater Tape
The water supply and drain lines are protected from freezing by the use of
ribbon or tape heaters. 115 volts ac power is supplied from the right bus to
the tapes through relays. The relays are energized by thermostats that are
set to complete the relay circuit below 40 degrees F (4 degrees C) and
open the circuit above 60 degrees F (16 degrees C).
The servicing connections in the water service panels and waste service
panel are heated with fitting heaters and a gasket heater respectively.
They receive power from the 115 VAC right bus and are thermostat
controlled.
The exception to this is the waste system drain pipe gasket heater. It has
NO thermostats and is heated anytime AC power is applied to the
airplane.
If an overheat occurs then the thermoswitch will open and remain open
until it is reset by pushing on it.
