Mobile system for deicing aircraft

A deicing system for applying a deicing mixture including a Type II deicing fluid to an aircraft, the system comprising:

• a first tank for holding water;
• a second tank for holding Type II deicing fluid
• a water heater in fluid communication with said first tank for heating the water;
• a heat exchanger, located in second tank and in fluid communication with said heater, for accepting the heated water to heat the Type II deicing fluid;
• a first pump in fluid communication with said first tank for pumping water;
• a second pump in fluid communication with said second tank for pumping Type II deicing fluid without degenerating said Type II fluid;
• a heater control means, coupled with said first pump, for controlling flow of the heated water through said heat exchanger until the temperature of the Type II deicing fluid in said second tank reaches a preselected temperature;
• a mixing tube in fluid communication with said first and second tanks for mixing the water and the Type II fluid;
• a mixing control means for providing a choice of a plurality of preselected mixtures of heated water and heated Type II deicing fluid to said mixing means;
• as nozzle in fluid communication with said mixing means to apply one of the preselected mixtures to the aircraft;
• and
• second pump control means for activating said second pump when the spray nozzle is open and for deactivating said second pump when the spray nozzle is closed.
