Abstract: L'invention concerne des compositions de dégivrage permettant de supprimer la glace d'une surface. Ces compositions comprennent soit de l'acide succinique ou un anhydre succinique, ou les deux, et une base neutralisante, notamment de l'hydroxyde de sodium, de l'hydroxyde de potassium, ou de l'hydroxyde d'ammonium. Lorsque ces compositions de dégivrage sont mélangées à de l'eau, elles produisent des sels de succinate, dans une réaction libérant rapidement suffisamment de chaleur pour faire fondre la glace située sur ladite surface, et les sels de succinate agissent en tant que dégivrant et qu'agent déprimant de point de congélation. En particulier, des modes de réalisation de l'invention concernent des compositions de dégivrage comprenant également un glycol permettant d'éviter que la glace ne se forme de nouveau sur la surface dégivrée. Ces compositions de dégivrage sont appropriées et efficaces pour des applications destinées à des aéroports où la corrosion des alliages des avions et des pistes d'atterrissage en béton posent problème.

IPC: G05B13/04
Filed: 2003-01-31
Abstract: There is described a method for controlling a system, for example a Diesel engine, that is subject to transient changes of target outputs. The target outputs specify outputs required from the system. "Steady state" information is used to give optimum inputs for the system when the target outputs are substantially constant. A model of the system is used to predict the outputs of the system in response to candidate new values for the inputs of the system. The method combines the steady state information with the predicted response of the system to determine inputs to the system which will cause the system outputs to match the target outputs as closely as possible. For each candidate (in one embodiment), the method calculates the difference between the steady state inputs and a candidate, and the difference between the target outputs and the predicted outputs that would result from the adoption of that candidate, to determine an optimum candidate which is then used to update the inputs to the system.
