The main purpose of this paper is to present an ice release model from heated surface. This is crucial to optimize heaters power. A transient thermal analysis implemented in ANSYS software has been performed in order to evaluate the time required for a layer of ice at the interface to get completely melted. The numerical model developed has been fully validated by three experimental test-cases.
