Combined surge bleed and dust removal system for a fan-jet engine

A combined dirt removal and surge preventive bleed system for a fan-jet engine having twin spool axial flow compressors, housed in a generally cylindrical case having an outer wall, an annular duct means generally traverse to and complementing an opening in said outer wall adjacent the juncture where the last stage rotor of the low pressure compressor spool ends and the first stage stator of the high pressure compressor spool begins for leading compressor air into a plurality of circumferentially spaced radially extending passageways, ducting means defining said radially extending passageways, the fan portion of the engine having inner and outer wall means defining a fan discharge duct, a plurality of stator vanes circumferentially disposed in said fan discharge duct and extending between said inner and outer walls and a plurality of openings in said inner wall adjacent the pressure surface of said stator vanes communicating with each of said circumferentially spaced passageways defined by said ducting means for discharging said compressor air into the fan discharge stream in said discharge duct and in proximity to said pressure surface of said stator vane, means for directing said compressor air at a velocity and direction that does not impair the flow of said fan discharge air and valve means disposed in each of said passageways to prevent or allow the compressor air to flow through each of said passageways and the outer wall of said generally cylindrical case bending at said juncture to change direction of said compressor air passing from said low pressure stages of said twin spool axial flow compressor to said high pressure stages of said twin spool axial flow compressors.
