Aircraft fuel ice capturing filter housing, aircraft fuel ice capturing filter device, and method of use

An aircraft fuel ice capturing filter device housing comprising:

• (a) an aircraft fuel inlet;
• (b) an aircraft fuel outlet;
• and
• (c) a main housing body receiving a flow of aircraft fuel from the aircraft fuel inlet, the main housing body comprising a cylindrical element having a central cavity, an inner surface, an outer surface, and a vertical axis;
• the cylindrical element having a plurality of spaced-apart ice filters on the inner surface, each of the plurality of spaced-apart ice filters having a front end, a rear end, a top wall, a first side, and a second side, and a plurality of apertures passing through the top wall, wherein the top wall at the front end of each of the plurality of spaced-apart ice filters is raised a distance from the inner surface, forming an opening arranged normal to aircraft fuel flow;
• wherein the aircraft fuel inlet is arranged generally perpendicular to the vertical axis of the cylindrical element and is configured to provide tangential aircraft fuel flow around the cylindrical element;
• and,
• wherein the cylindrical element is configured to receive an aircraft fuel filter comprising a porous element.
