Accessible debris separator for high pressure turbine outside diameter fed static components

Abstract

An accessible debris separator for a gas turbine engine is provided. The accessible debris separator including a chamber formed by a entrance wall, an exit wall, an inner wall, and an outer wall; a plurality of inlet openings in the entrance wall; a plurality of outlet openings in the exit wall; and a component within the chamber, the component forcing cooling air with debris particulates entering the chamber via an inlet opening of the plurality of inlet openings to take a circuitous path thereby separating the debris particulates from the cooling air prior to the cooling air exiting the chamber via an outlet opening of the plurality of outlet openings.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
