are the wing anti-ice control valves AC or DC motored ?
AC

how does the Wing anti-Ice System work ?
With a valve open, bleed air flows to the three leading edge inboard slats, and is then exhausted overboard

the switch remains in the ON position regardless of control valve position.

what happens when during flight the WING ANTI-ICE switch is positionated ON ?
- opens both control valves
- sets stall warning logic for icing conditions.
- MIN Va set on ASI
- FMC VREF not adjusted automatically
- STICK SHAKER remains in ICING position througout the flight regardeless of subsequent WING ANTI-ICE switch position
page 3.20.6
when the WING ANTI-ICE is ON the Stall Warning Logic is adjusted for icing conditions, as a consequence what does the stall warning logic adjust ?
- adjusts stick shaker
- MIN Va bars on airspeed indications.

if the WING ANTI-ICE switch is changed position after that the stall warning logic has been adjusted for icing conditions will it stays that way ?
YES
page 3.20.6
