en.Wedoany.com Reported - The ice detector launched by Finland's Labkotec is specifically designed to identify ice accumulation on the rotor blades of wind turbines, issuing timely alerts to support proactive operator response. When used in conjunction with a blade heating system, this ice detector helps maximize turbine uptime and extend equipment lifespan. According to the company, over 10,000 ice detectors have been manufactured since the 1990s, making it one of the most widely used ice detection systems globally.

Blade ice accumulation poses safety risks to personnel and structures near wind farms. Labkotec's ice detector can detect icing conditions and alert personnel to the danger of ice throw, enhancing safety across the entire wind farm area. This system is one of the few ice detection solutions on the market that meets the PLd safety level requirement, in compliance with ISO 13849-1.

At the company's booth, visitors can also learn how the new ice intensity estimation enables more precise ice detection, delivering economic benefits and improving turbine reliability. This feature meets the application requirements for real-time ice warning devices. The ice detector can be easily connected to the wind turbine control system via relay output or TCP/IP interface, and icing status can be monitored using the built-in web interface.
