TB ice in an LT5 occurring under the same atmospheric conditions as carb ice in an aircraft engine?
Holy
What an amazing analogy!
Who'd a thunk it?
Fact is TB icing can occur but under a very set group of atmospheric conditions. Also, a carburetor has a far more pronounced venturi shape than does an LT5 TB so the possibility of TB ice in an LT5 is less than carb ice in an aircraft engine.
That said, again I remind everyone under a specific set of atmospheric conditions and an LT5 after a cold start and during early warm up, TB ice can happen.
I've had my TB coolant bypassed for about 17 years and have never had a problem with TB icing, but I suppose if I operated my LT5 during the winter in a place north of the "freeze line" and in damp weather, I'd reconnect it.
