In aerospace and wind energy, ice buildup adds weight, disrupts performance, and increases operational risk. Removing it can be slow, energy-intensive, and difficult to verify.
— deicing can slow turnaround and delay takeoff readiness
— traditional methods use significant energy and heated equipment
— ice adds risk and can reduce turbine output by 17%
— it can be difficult to confirm the surface is completely ice-free
Betterfrost combines ice detection, targeted heating, and adaptive power control to clear critical surfaces with far less energy. The system identifies where ice is present, directs heat only to affected areas, and confirms when the surface is clear.
Pulsed power targets the interfacial ice layer, reducing heat loss and releasing ice efficiently.
Power is directed only where ice is present, reducing energy use and improving response time.
Sensors detect ice formation early, locate affected areas, and confirm when surfaces are clear.
Betterfrost detects ice location, applies heat only where needed, and confirms when surfaces are clear. On the ground, this enables chemical-free deicing at the gate and reduces time to takeoff.
Detect ice before performance drops
Monitor critical surfaces in real time
Break the ice-to-surface bond directly
Betterfrost detects blade ice early, targets heat to affected areas, and helps restore aerodynamic performance with minimal energy. That supports more reliable winter operation and helps reduce output losses caused by ice buildup.
Detect ice early on rotor blade surfaces
Activate deicing only where needed
Support safer winter turbine operation
Traditional deicing can require more energy, respond more slowly, and make it difficult to verify that critical surfaces are clear. Betterfrost detects ice early, directs heat only to affected areas, and confirms when the surface is ice-free.
