How about dividing the heat exchanger into two sections? One section cools the air while the other section defrosts, and then alternate.



That was my first guess too. With that many pipes, they could have many sections which migrate the frosty sections down into the engine in waves.


playing with pressure differences, thermodynamics, sections and annealing, you could think about freeze-drying while drinking your lyo coffee.
