System and method for a thermal layer in a vehicle

Abstract

There are provided systems, methods and devices for a thermal layer or substrate in a vehicle. A system includes a conductive layer configured to be applied inside a surface of a component of the vehicle. The system further includes a pulse electro-thermal de-icing (PETD) controller configured to provide electro-thermal pulses to the conductive layer to vary a temperature of the surface. A method includes applying a conductive layer inside a surface of a component of the vehicle. The method further includes providing electro-thermal pulses to the conductive layer to vary a temperature of the surface.
