Anti–Icing System
The compressor inlet guide vanes and front bearing support hub are the engine
components with
anti–icing provisions. Anti–icing is provided by the use of compressor discharge air
which is taken
from a fitting at the twelve o’clock position (six o‘clock position on 250–C20S and
250–C20W
engines) on the front face of the compressor scroll. A manually operated air shutoff
valve is
mounted in this position to control the anti–icing air. An ice detector is not furnished
with this
engine.
