@Asker
Perhaps it's cold outside? Or perhaps a process involved uses up enough energy to cause freezing?

Notes to answerer
Asker: It's just that the equipment in question is an air core reactor so I didn't see what on earth that could have to do with a de-icer so assumed it couldn't possibly be that.....


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
neutral  Didier Fourcot: The second reference in French is not about de-icing, but removing the smooth finish (glaçage), French for de-icing is rather "dégivrage"; however I have no better idea to suggest

agree  philgoddard: I can't find any other meaning, except "deglaze".

  -> Thanks Phil. "Deglaze" makes me think of pouring liquid onto the crust on the bottom of a frying pan to produce a sauce.
