serves both the surface deice system and the
pneumatic systems operation.
b. Operation. A switch, placarded BRAKE
DEICE, located on the pilot's subpanel controls the
solenoid valve by routing power through a control
module box under the aisle floorboards. A 5-ampere
circuit breaker, placarded BRAKE DEICE, located on
the right sidewall circuit breaker panel protects the
system. A timer limits operation to approximately 10
minutes to avoid excessive wheel well temperatures
when the landing gear is retracted. The control
module also contains a circuit to the green BRAKE
DEICE ON annunciator, and has a resetting circuit
interlocked with the gear uplock switch. When the
system
is
activated,
the
BRAKE
DEICE
ON
annunciator should be monitored and the control
switch
selected
OFF
after
the
annunciator
extinguishes, otherwise, on the next gear extension,
the system will restart without pilot action. The control
switch should also be selected OFF if deice operation
fails to self-terminate after approximately 10 minutes.
If the automatic timer has terminated brake deice
operation after the last retraction of the landing gear,
the landing gear must be extended in order to obtain
further operation of the system.
NOTE
The BL AIR FAIL annunciator lights may
illuminate
momentarily
during
simultaneous operation of the surface and
brake deice systems at low N1 speed. If
lights extinguish immediately they may be
disregarded.
(1) During certain ambient conditions, use of
the brake deice system may reduce available engine
power, and during flight will result in an ITT rise of
approximately 20 °C. Applicable performance charts
should be consulted before brake deice system use. If
specified power cannot be obtained without exceeding
limits, the brake deice system must be selected OFF
until after takeoff is completed. ITT limitations must
also be observed when setting climb and cruise power.
The brake deice system is not to be operated above
15 °C ambient temperature. During periods of
simultaneous brake deice and surface deice operation,
maintain 85% N1 or higher. If inadequate pneumatic
pressure is developed for proper surface deice boot
inflation, select the brake deice system OFF. Both
sources of pneumatic bleed air must be in operation
during brake deice system use. Select the brake deice
system OFF during single engine operation.
2-58. FUEL SYSTEM ANTI-ICING.
a. Description. An oil-to-fuel heat exchanger,
located in each engine accessory case, operates
continuously and automatically to heat the fuel
sufficiently to prevent freezing of any water in the fuel.
No controls are involved. Three external fuel vents are
provided on each wing. One is recessed to prevent
ice formation, the second is flush mounted so that no
ice can collect upon it, and the third is electrically
heated. Heating is controlled by two toggle switches,
placarded FUEL VENT LEFT and RIGHT, located on
the pilot's subpanel. They are protected by two
5-ampere circuit breakers, placarded FUEL VENT
LEFT and RIGHT, located on the right sidewall circuit
breaker panel.
CAUTION
To prevent overheat damage to electrically
heated anti-ice jackets, the FUEL VENT
heat switches should not be turned on
unless cooling air will soon pass over the
jackets.
b. Normal Operation. For normal operation,
switches for the fuel vent anti-ice circuits are turned on
as
required
during
the
BEFORE
TAKEOFF
procedures.
2-59. WINDSHIELD ELECTROTHERMAL ANTI-ICE
SYSTEM.
a. Description. Both the pilots and copilot's
windshields are provided with an electrothermal anti-
ice system. Each windshield is part of an independent
electrothermal anti-ice system. Each system is
comprised of the windshield assembly with heating
wires
sandwiched
between
glass
panels,
a
temperature
sensor
attached
to
the
glass,
an
electrothermal controller, two relays, a control switch,
and two circuit breakers. Two switches, placarded
WSHLD ANTI-ICE PILOT NORMAL / OFF / HIGH,
and WSHLD ANTI-ICE COPILOT, NORMAL / OFF /
HIGH, located on the pilot's subpanel, control system
operation. Each switch controls one electrothermal
windshield system. A 5-ampere circuit breaker and a
50-ampere circuit breaker, which are not accessible to
the flight crew, protect the circuits of each system.
CAUTION
To help prevent windshield cracking,
windshield heat should be placed in the
NORMAL position for at least 15 minutes
prior to using the HIGH position.
b. Normal Operation. Two levels of heat are
provided
through
the
three
position
switches,
placarded NORMAL in the up position, OFF in the
center position, and HIGH after pulling the switch over
a detent and moving it to the down position. In the
