Ram Rise

It's been awhile, so I stand to be corrected.

Ram Rise - will raise the static air temperature by about 10C when over 250kias. Since most icing happens between 0C to -20C this will raise the temp out of the icing range for a SAT down to -10.

Here's an old thread that covered the topic of ice collection efficiency:
