Methods for the Alleviation of Ship Icing.
Tests were made, both in an icing wind tunnel and at an outdoor test site, of various proposals for the alleviation of the problem caused by the freezing of sea spray on the superstructures of ships. Of the devices evaluated, a pneumatic de-icing technique proved the most effective under all conditi...
