Fluid systems that prevent the formation of ice

A fluid system comprising:

• a main body having a leading edge, a trailing edge, an injection opening disposed between the leading edge and the trailing edge, a suction opening disposed between the injection opening and the trailing edge, a channel extending from the injection opening to the suction opening, a first passageway, a second passageway, a first opening, a second opening, and a third opening, the first passageway extending from the first opening to the second opening, the first opening in communication with the channel and the second opening in communication with the second passageway, the second passageway in communication with the first passageway and extending to the third opening, the third opening in communication with the channel;
• a heating member attached to the main body between the second passageway and the channel, the heating member sized and configured to heat fluid traveling through the second passageway;
• a first valve attached to the main body and moveable between a first configuration in which fluid can flow through the first opening and a second configuration in which fluid is prevented from flowing through the first opening;
• a second valve attached to the main body and moveable between a first configuration in which fluid can flow through the third opening and a second configuration in which fluid is prevented from flowing through the third opening;
• and
• a fluid pressurizer disposed within the channel.

A fluid system for an aircraft comprising:

• a main body defining a wing of said aircraft and having a leading edge, a trailing edge, an injection opening disposed between the leading edge and the trailing edge, a suction opening disposed between the injection opening and the trailing edge, a channel extending from the injection opening to the suction opening, a first passageway, a second passageway, a first opening, a second opening, a third opening, a fourth opening, and a fifth opening, the first passageway extending from the first opening to the second opening, the first opening in communication with the channel and the second opening in communication with the second passageway, the second passageway in communication with the first passageway and extending from the third opening to the fourth opening, the third opening in communication with the channel and the fourth opening in communication with the channel, the fourth opening disposed between the first opening and the suction opening, the fifth opening disposed between the third opening and the fourth opening, the fifth opening in communication with the second passageway and a first environment exterior to the second passageway;
• a heating member attached to the main body and sized and configured to heat fluid traveling through the second passageway;
• and
• a first valve attached to the main body and moveable between a first configuration in which fluid can flow through the first opening and a second configuration in which fluid is prevented from flowing through the first opening;
• a second valve attached to the main body and moveable between a first configuration in which fluid can flow through the third opening and a second configuration in which fluid is prevented from flowing through the third opening;
• a third valve attached to the main body and moveable between a first configuration in which fluid can flow through the fourth opening and a second configuration in which fluid is prevented from flowing through the fourth opening;
• a fourth valve attached to the main body and moveable between a first configuration in which fluid can flow through the fifth opening and a second configuration in which fluid is prevented from flowing through the fifth opening;
• and
• a fluid pressurizer disposed within the channel.
