Ice build-up around the inlet cowl leading edge could affect engine
performance and cause engine damage from ice ingestion. Ground Running
Inlet Cowl Ice Protection System The P2/T2 probe is automatically and continuously heated during
operation by an integral 115V heating coil.
A selector switch on the flight deck for the Inlet Cowl Ice Protection
System opens and closes the Thermal Anti-Icing (TAI) control valve. Spinner
The valve allows hot air taken from the HPC Stage 7 to flow across
the inlet cowl leading edge. A solid rubber nose tip protects the spinner against ice build-up.
The nose tip naturally vibrates to break up and dislodge ice
immediately as it starts to form.

The control solenoid is energized. The air is vented overboard via an outlet located on the right side of
the inlet cowl.
The ball valve of the control solenoid is snug against the ambient
vent outlet. This prevents upstream air from escaping and directs it Failsafe position
to area A of the piston.
The failsafe position is as follows:
The pressure acting on the piston at area A is greater than that
acting on area B. This pressure at area A, along with the spring • solenoid de-energized

To lock the valve, insert the locking pin through the locking hole on
the valve body and into the mating hole in the piston. A ball detent
mechanism on the end of the locking pin retains the pin in the hole
corresponding to the desired valve position. A visual indicator
shows the position of the valve.
NOTE
For extended range operations, only one valve can be in the failed-
closed position, and only if the aircraft is not operating in icing
conditions.
