OPTIMIZING ICE PROTECTION ON AIRCRAFT, SHIPS AND WIND TURBINES BY MEANS OF ANTI-ICING COATINGS | Ice formation on surfaces causes high costs due to increased energy consumption, and lower energy yield. At the same time, it impairs function and safety. Affected are not only aircraft, ships, rail vehicles, and automobiles, but also cooling units and wind turbines. Fraunhofer IFAM is therefore developing and testing application-specific anti-icing technologies to prevent as well as remove icing on surfaces.
