Popis: This paper describes the commissioning of a new test apparatus intended to simulate an inner-compressor duct bleed slot. It also identifies, for the first time, that ice crystal particle size plays an important role in the ice crystal phenomenon. Data and sample images of accretion are presented for wet bulb temperatures near freezing. The effect of wet bulb temperature and particle size on the natural melting of ice crystals is investigated. In addition, the erosion of surface accretion by ice crystal particles is discussed. © 2012 by Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Canada.
