ABSTRACT:
A particle separator for a gas turbine engine is described having an inlet passage to the compressor of the gas turbine engine, with the inlet passageway being defined by an inner wall and an outer wall. The inner wall diverges outwardly to form a throat with a diverging outer wall and converges inwardly downstream thereof. A first bypass opening is provided immediately upstream of the diverging inner wall, whereby solid and liquid particles can be diverted and passed overboard. A splitter ring is provided in the inlet passageway downstream of the converging inner wall, such that the finer particles escaping from the first bypass openings would be separated by the splitter ring.
