HEATING SYSTEM FOR AIRCRAFT ENGINE LIQUID DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

A heating system for heating a component in a liquid distribution system of an aircraft engine. The liquid distribution system feeds a liquid to the component. The heating system includes an acoustic generator disposed in communication with the component via a liquid passage of the liquid distribution system. The liquid passage defines a length between the acoustic generator and the component. The acoustic generator generates a resonant frequency selected as a function of the length of the liquid passage to generate a standing wave in the liquid within the liquid passage. The standing wave transmitting energy to the component to heat the component.
