Abstract
The invention proposes a de-icing splitter nose at the inlet of the low-pressure compressor of a double-flow turbine engine. The splitter nose comprises an annular separation surface with a circular leading edge, the surface being adapted to separate an upstream flow into a primary flow and a secondary flow. The nose further comprises an electric de-icing device with a heating element having a series of parallel, electric, heating strips. The strips are inserted between two strata of dielectric material and are able to prevent the formation of ice on the annular surface, as close as possible to the leading edge.
