Summary

A rectangular-throat pressure-type carburetor was investigated to determine the icing characteristics of this part of a large four-engine bomber induction system. Runs of 15-minute duration were made at a simulated low-cruising power condition over a range of carburetor-air temperatures from 12 to 100 degrees F with varied moisture contents to establish the limiting conditions for the formation of visible and serious icing. The investigation included icing tests made with a standard nozzle bar and an impinging-jets nozzle bar.
