D. Windshield De-Icing System
(1) Windshield De-Icing Pumps
One outlet of the main pump assembly is connected to the inlets of the two windshield de-icing
pumps via an equal tee. The windshield de-icing pumps are connected in parallel. The pumps
are mounted to the bottom side of a lid in the floor of the nose baggage compartment on the LH
side. Only one pump is operative at a time, while the other pump is a backup. The active pump
is selected with a switch in the cockpit.
(2) Solenoid Valves
A solenoid valve is located in front of each windshield de-icing pump. When the pilot operates
the switch for the windshield de-icing system, then the valves allow the de-icing fluid to flow to
the spraybar for 5 seconds. The solenoid valves avoid that air is drawn into the system via the
spraybar.
(3) Spraybar
A spraybar is located in front of the canopy. It is aligned parallel with the center axis of the
airplane. When activated, it sprays de-icing fluid onto the canopy.
A deflector-wedge is mounted to the airplane in front of the spraybar for protection and airflow
guide purposes.
E. Ice Protection Control System
(1) De-Ice Control Box
The de-ice control box consists basically of relays and is connected to the de-ice control panel.
It is supplied with electrical power via the XFER PUMP / DE-ICE circuit breaker. It is installed to
control all 4 pumps of the ice protection system. The de-ice control box is mounted on the bottom
side of the LH baggage compartment floor.
(2) De-Ice Control Panel
The ice protection system (including ice-lights) installed in the DA 42 NG is operated via the de-
ice control panel. The de-ice control panel is connected to the de-ice control box and to the
instrument panel lighting bus. It is supplied with electrical power via the XFER PUMP / DE-ICE
circuit breaker.
