Abstract
A method and apparatus for predicting conditions favorable for icing, includes sensing a value indicative of a thermal cycling period, comparing, the sensed thermal cycling period with a threshold value, determining, if the sensed thermal cycling period satisfies the threshold value, and indicating, by the controller module, that conditions favorable for icing are present when the sensed thermal cycling period satisfies the threshold value.
