Abstract
A method of heating a hollow structure and a heating system are provided. The system includes a plurality of hollow structures spaced circumferentially about an annular flow path. The hollow structures include a heating fluid inlet port, a first plurality of film heating apertures, and a second plurality of film heating apertures. The hollow structures also include a first internal passage extending between the heating fluid inlet port and the first plurality of film heating apertures. The first internal passage includes an impingement leg configured to channel a first flow of heating fluid to a leading edge of the hollow structure. A second internal passage extends between the heating fluid inlet port and the second plurality of film heating apertures through a path along an inner surface of the hollow structure before being channeled to the second plurality of film heating apertures.
