CA 2365712

An apparatus and a method for local measurement of an icing factor for atmospheric air containing supercooled water, and wherein the apparatus comprises at least one surface element made of a material suitable for ice in atmospheric air to freeze on, and said surface element having a predetermined surface area, and wherein the apparatus further comprises means that are configured for moving the surface element through the atmospheric air at a predetermined rate and for a predetermined period of time, and wherein means are also provided that are configured for measuring the thickness or mass of the ice frozen fast onto the surface element after the predetermined time interval during which the surface element is moved through the atmospheric air.

L'invention porte sur un appareil et un procédé de mesure locale du facteur de givrage d'air atmosphérique contenant de l'eau en surfusion. L'appareil comporte: au moins un élément de surface d'une taille donnée sur lequel l'air atmosphérique est susceptible de former du givre; des moyens de déplacement dudit élément de surface dans l'air atmosphérique à une vitesse donnée et pendant une période donnée; et des moyens de mesure de l'épaisseur ou de la masse de givre s'étant rapidement formée pendant ladite période où l'élément de surface s'est déplacé dans l'air atmosphérique.
