Type 1 Glycol is heated to between 160-200 degrees. It has to be within that range as it passes through the last gauges before it leaves the nozzle. The minimum at the nozzle should be no lower than 140 degrees F. As it filters through the hoses around the two booms it will lose temperature. You can measure from the nozzle with a thermometer.
At DTW last night, and got deiced. With the lights and those enclosed pods, it was pretty weird looking as the pods seemed to float around the plane amid clouds of misting vapor. It reminded me of the aliens from Close Encounters.
