@Protons4B am reminded of when I was working at Dowty Propellors on a DeIcing timer. They let the ice build up a little so that it would crack off when hit by a sudden burst of heat.
Got me thinking about alternative approaches such as drying the intake or applying a slippy coating to the exchangers. The shape of the exchanges likely also impacts this. Could the ice be vibrated off using ultrasonic transducers? Would a cyclonic filter on the intake be effective (like used on dust extraction)
