ellison carb

Hello,

Ellison claims the Ellison Throttle Body Injector need a heating box.
Some users say they never experiment any carb icing.

My question: is any ellison user experiment a TBI carb icing?


Thanks

the word you needed was experience

has any ellison user experienced throttle body carb icing?


(you can say rude words in french now :-) )
Stealth Pilot

Use the heat box!

I had an experimental with an io360. Had a tendancy in certain weather
conditions to cut out during takeoff. You'd be at a couple hundred feet, and
it'd either start to miss, or just outright stop. Very embarassing. Happened
more than once.

Turned out that if the air temp was about 70F with high humidity, it was
icing up. The low pressure point in the airflow was right at the fuel
delivery bar. I put a temp sensor there and saw 22F at that point. Remember
the gas law: PV=NRT. As pressure goes down, temperature goes down. It works.

Put in a heat box. Make sure it works. There is supposed to be 90F of change
in temp with the heat in. Use it on takeoff.

In Canada they are required by law unless you can demonstrate icing is
impossible.
