Abstract
A deicer includes a water tank storing water and an antifreeze solution tank storing an antifreeze solution. The water tank and the antifreeze solution tank are provided with heat exchangers, respectively. Pumps are further provided for feeding the water and the antifreeze solution in the respective tanks to a spray nozzle for spraying out a mixture of the water and the antifreeze solution. A gas turbine is provided for driving the foregoing pumps. Exhaust gas of the gas turbine is introduced into the heat exchangers through a control of valve switching so as to hold temperatures of the water and the antifreeze solution in the respective tanks to be constant. Further, bleed air of the gas turbine is fed to an air nozzle so as to be jetted out therefrom.
