Product Overview

The core component of the JCF-1650 Vibration-Based Icing Detector is an ultrasonic axial vibration probe. When ice forms, the vibration frequency of the probe changes. Utilizing this principle, the system calculates ice thickness, assesses the risk of icing in real time, and issues de-icing control commands to activate the de-icing system. This protects the safe operation of equipment units in severe icing conditions, improves operational efficiency, and reduces energy consumption for de-icing.

The icing monitoring system features a threaded mounting structure, allowing for distributed installation and easy deployment in icing-prone areas such as cable towers. This addresses the issue where existing non-contact icing monitoring systems cannot accurately reflect icing conditions. The sensor is equipped with a built-in heating function, reducing the likelihood of false negatives and false positives.

Compared to traditional methods such as tension-based icing and image-based icing monitoring, resonant icing monitoring technology offers higher sensitivity; it does not require self-de-icing to function; and it is unaffected by wind and snow accumulation.
