Abstract
A device for deicing a wall of an aircraft, comprising a closed circuit. The closed circuit comprises at least one condenser, positioned in the environment of the wall that is to be deiced, and in which a heat-transfer fluid condenses, generating energy in the form of latent heat which is transmitted to the wall that is to be deiced, at least one evaporator positioned in the environment of a heat source sited remotely with respect to the wall, and in which the heat-transfer fluid evaporates, absorbing energy in the form of latent heat coming from the heat source. At least part of the closed circuit is facing, in contact with, or positioned in, the wall that is to be deiced, being made of a material transparent to electromagnetic fields.
