Summary: | Ice accretion on various onshore and offshore infrastructures imparts hazardous effects sometimes beyond repair,
which may be life-threatening. Therefore, it has become necessary to look for ways to detect and mitigate ice.
Some ice mitigation techniques have been tested or in use in aviation and railway sectors, however, their
applicability to other sectors/systems is still in the research phase. To make such systems autonomous, ice
protection systems need to be accompanied by reliable ice detection systems, which include electronic,
mechatronics, mechanical, and optical techniques. Comparing the benefits and limitations of all available
methodologies, Infrared Thermography (IRT) appears to be one of the useful, non-destructive, and emerging
techniques as it offers wide area monitoring instead of just point-based ice monitoring. This paper reviews the
applications of IRT in the field of icing on various subject areas to provide valuable insights into the existing
development of an intelligent and autonomous ice mitigation system for general applications. |
