F02Ice protection & heated probes

Protect designated surfaces and sensors from ice.

Manufacturers & products

This supply map covers sensors and several protection technologies. Pneumatic boots, fluid systems and electrothermal heaters illustrate different architectures rather than a single interchangeable installation.

Program applicability is stated for each listing. 737NG, 737 MAX, and other aircraft examples are distinct configurations; listed products are not automatically interchangeable or approved for installation.

manufacturer

Collins Aerospace

Ice detectors and Goodrich deicing systems

Offers ice detectors and pneumatic deicing products; its MAX platform sheet separately lists ice detection. [2][1]

Program / application

737MAX ice detection; boot products are separate applications [2][1]

Manufacturer inquiry

Suggested route: manufacturer program/product inquiry or approved aftermarket support; confirm exact aircraft and part-number effectivity.

Product scope & qualifications

Do not infer that the illustrated 737 wing uses Goodrich pneumatic boots.

manufacturer

GKN Aerospace

Spraymat electrothermal structures

Integrates electrothermal heater mats into aircraft structures. [3]

Program / application

Spraymat technology; exact 737 installation unverified [3]

Custom program inquiry

Suggested route: manufacturer program/product inquiry or approved aftermarket support; confirm exact aircraft and part-number effectivity.

Product scope & qualifications

Power density and heating zones depend on the approved airframe design.

manufacturer

Cox & Company — Hutchinson

Electrothermal ice protection

Offers low-power and electrothermal protection, heated structures and control equipment. [4]

Program / application

OEM ice-protection capability; 737 applicability unverified [4]

Custom program inquiry

Suggested route: manufacturer program/product inquiry or approved aftermarket support; confirm exact aircraft and part-number effectivity.

Product scope & qualifications

Cox identifies itself as part of Hutchinson; exact aircraft installation remains unverified.

manufacturer

Parker Aerospace

Anti-ice and pneumatic controls

Offers anti-ice control and deicing systems alongside airframe pneumatic valves. [5]

Program / application

737 pneumatic program pedigree; exact anti-ice part unverified [5]

Manufacturer inquiry

Suggested route: manufacturer program/product inquiry or approved aftermarket support; confirm exact aircraft and part-number effectivity.

Product scope & qualifications

The 737 appears in a broad pneumatic program list, not an itemized anti-ice allocation.

manufacturer

CAV Systems

TKS fluid ice protection

Supports aircraft-specific TKS fluid ice-protection installations. [6]

Program / application

General aviation technology; no 737 installation established [6]

Manufacturer inquiry

Suggested route: manufacturer program/product inquiry or approved aftermarket support; confirm exact aircraft and part-number effectivity.

Product scope & qualifications

Included as a different aircraft architecture; no compatibility with a 737 is claimed.

What remains unverified

No exact 737NG wing/nacelle protection hardware list or public zone heat-load map was verified.

Where it comes from

A company address is shown separately from a published factory location. Request the manufacturing site and lot traceability for the exact part when sourcing.

What to compare

Protected surface and icing envelope
Specify the inlet, wing, sensor or other surface and the substantiated icing conditions.
Detection versus protection
A detector identifies icing; it does not by itself remove or prevent ice.
Bleed, electrical or fluid demand · kg/s / W / L/h
Compare the complete aircraft utility burden over the mission duty cycle.
Coverage and thermal control
Surface temperature distribution and control behavior matter more than total heater power.
Aerodynamic integration
Leading-edge shape, installation finish and drainage affect the aircraft design.
Structural and environmental durability
Evaluate erosion, moisture, lightning and repeated heating or flexing as applicable.
False-alarm and fault behavior
Compare sensor detection evidence and system monitoring in the intended environment.
Aircraft-specific approval and support
An approved installation on one airframe does not establish another’s eligibility.

Selection & integration notes

The Collins MAX reference establishes ice detection, not that the 737 uses every deicing product in Collins’ wider portfolio.
General-aviation TKS and pneumatic-boot examples are retained to explain supplier technology breadth.
