METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A RESISTIVE ELEMENT INTENDED FOR DE-ICING AND/OR DE-MISTING A MOUNTING, AND ASSOCIATED DEVICE

The invention relates to a method for regulating, by means of a computer, a resistive element (100) arranged to defrost and/or demist a support (200), the method comprising: a) a loop for monitoring the temperature T and the humidity level H at the support (200); b) a defrosting and/or demisting sequence which, as long as the temperature T and the humidity level H monitored by the monitoring loop a) are indicative of an absence of frost or fog on the support (200), keeps the resistive element (100) inactive, and otherwise controls, during a step b2), the circulation of a current I in the resistive element (100) so that the latter dissipates a thermal power P, adjusted according to the temperature T and the humidity level H, and allowing the defrosting or demisting of the support (200) according to a predetermined duration D.
