Abstract
A pipe assembly includes a first wall having an inner surface defining a fuel flowpath, a second wall spaced radially outward of the first wall, a gap formed between the first wall and the second wall defining a flow passage, and a screen positioned within the fuel flowpath being shaped and configured to direct ice in the fuel flowpath toward the inner surface such that heat from the first wall melts the ice.
