Throttle ice

A type of ice that forms on the throttle valve of an aircraft carburetor when the throttle is partially closed. The temperature drop caused by the pressure drop across the partially closed throttle valve, and by the evaporation of the fuel, forces moisture to condense out of the air and freeze on the throttle-valve plate.
