ABSTRACT:
A conversion unit for an aircraft de-icing machine which permits the machine to be easily converted to a much improved device without the necessity of completely remanufacturing the machine. The conversion unit comprises a frame which is secured to the rearward end of the de-icing machine frame. A housing is secured to the conversion unit frame and encloses the conversion unit components. A water heater is provided in the housing for heating the water being supplied thereto. A "glycol" pump is also provided on the conversion unit frame and is in fluid communication with the detergent tank on the de-icing machine which is used to contain "glycol" rather than detergent. The water heater is fluidly connected to the water pump on the de-icing machine and is fluidly connected to the spray nozzle on the aerial platform provided on the de-icing machine. A "glycol" proportioning valve is also provided adjacent the spray nozzle and is in fluid communication therewith. The "glycol" pump is operatively connected to the proportioning valve so that the "glycol" may be selectively proportioned into the heated water being sprayed on the aircraft.
