In aerospace and wind energy, ice buildup adds weight, disrupts performance, increases operational risk, and can be slow, energy-intensive, or difficult to confirm.
— deicing can slow turnaround and delay take-off readiness
— traditional methods use heavy energy or heated deicer
— it can be hard to confirm when ice is fully gone
— ice adds risk and can reduce turbine output by 17%
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 where needed, 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.
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, that enables chemical-free deicing at the gate and can reduce time to take-off.
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 methods often use more energy, respond more slowly, and make it harder to confirm when critical surfaces are truly clear. Betterfrost detects ice early, directs heat only where needed, and confirms when surfaces are ice-free.
