ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for the real time detection of the formation of ice on a surface in which a sensor having spaced electrodes along the surface is embedded in the surface for which detection is to be provided. Resistance between the electrodes is monitored and electrode temperature is monitored. When a sharp rise in resistance on the surface due to the presence of ice is detected at the same time that the surface temperature is at or below the freezing temperature of water, then a computer provides a signal to indicate the formation of ice.
