Anti-icing
Definition
A system, device, or technical method utilized to prevent the formation and accretion of ice (icing) on the surfaces of an aircraft or industrial installations exposed to low temperatures. Unlike de-icing, which removes already formed ice, anti-icing operates proactively through thermal, pneumatic, or fluid methods.
