Flight Deck Window Heat

YC146
Flight deck window numbers 1, 2, 4 and 5 consist of glass panes laminated to each
side of a vinyl core. Flight deck window number 4 has an additional vinyl layer
and acrylic sheet laminated to the inside surface. Flight deck window number 3
consists of two acrylic panes separated by an air space.
YC146
A conductive coating on the outer glass pane of window numbers 1 and 2 permits
electrical heating to prevent ice build–up and fogging. A conductive coating on
the inner glass pane of window numbers 4 and 5 permits electrical heating to
prevent fogging. Window number 3 is not electrically heated.

Flight Deck Window Heat Operation

YC146
The FWD WINDOW HEAT switches control heat to window No. 1. The SIDE
WINDOW HEAT switches control heat to window number 2, 4, and 5.

Temperature controllers maintain window numbers 1 and 2 at the correct
temperature to ensure maximum strength of the windows in the event of bird
impact. Power to window numbers 1 and 2 is automatically removed if an
overheat condition is detected. A thermal switch located on window 5 opens and
closes to maintain the correct temperature of window numbers 4 and 5.

Pitot probes, the total air temperature probe and the alpha vanes are electrically

captain’s pitot probe is heated, however, the CAPT PITOT light does not
illuminate for a failure.
Note: The pitot probe for standby airspeed is not heated when the airplane is on
standby power.

Engine Anti–Ice System

Engine bleed air thermal anti–icing prevents the formation of ice on the engine
cowl lip. Engine anti–ice operation is controlled by individual ENG ANTI–ICE
switches. The engine anti–ice system may be operated on the ground and in flight.

Engine Anti–Ice System Operation

Each cowl anti–ice valve is electrically controlled and pressure actuated.
Positioning the ENG ANTI–ICE switches to ON:
• allows engine bleed air to flow through the cowl anti–ice valve for cowl
lip anti–icing
• sets stall warning logic for icing conditions
Note: Stall warning logic adjusts stick shaker and minimum maneuver speed bars
on the airspeed indicator. FMC displayed VREF is not adjusted
automatically.
Note: Stall warning logic, airspeed indications, and minimum maneuver speeds
on the airspeed indicator return to normal when engine anti–ice is
positioned OFF if wing anti–ice has not been used in flight.
If the cowl anti–ice valve fails to move to the position indicated by the ENG
ANTI–ICE switch, the COWL VALVE OPEN light remains illuminated bright
blue and an amber TAI indication illuminates on the CDS after a short delay.
The amber COWL ANTI–ICE light illuminates due to excessive pressure in the
duct leading from the cowl anti–ice valve to the cowl lip.

Wing Anti–Ice System

The wing anti–ice system provides protection for the three inboard leading edge
slats by using bleed air. The wing anti–ice system does not include the leading
edge flaps or the outboard leading edge slats.
The wing anti–ice control valves are AC motor–operated. With a valve open,
bleed air flows to the three leading edge inboard slats, and is then exhausted
overboard. The wing anti–ice system is effective with the slats in any position.

Wing Anti–Ice System Operation

On the ground, positioning the WING ANTI–ICE switch ON opens both control
valves if thrust on both engines is below the setting for takeoff warning activation
and the temperature inside both wing distribution ducts is less than the thermal
switch activation temperature.

System Description
737 Flight Crew Operations Manual
Both valves close if either engine thrust is above the takeoff warning setting or
either temperature sensor senses a duct overtemperature. The valves automatically
reopen if thrust on both engines is reduced and both temperature sensors are cool.
With the air/ground sensor in the ground mode and the WING ANTI–ICE switch
ON, the switch remains in the ON position regardless of control valve position.
The WING ANTI–ICE switch automatically trips OFF at lift–off when the
air/ground sensor goes to the air mode.
Positioning the WING ANTI–ICE switch to ON in flight:
• opens both control valves
• sets stall warning logic for icing conditions
Note: Stall warning logic adjusts stick shaker and minimum maneuver
speed bars on airspeed indications. FMC displayed VREF is not
adjusted automatically.
Note: Stall warning logic remains set for icing conditions for the remainder
of the flight, regardless of subsequent WING ANTI–ICE switch
position.
Duct temperature and thrust setting logic are disabled and have no effect on
control valve operation in flight.
Valve position is monitored by the blue VALVE OPEN lights.
