ABSTRACT:
A particle separator for separating and removing foreign particles from engine inlet air incorporates a plurality of identical channel assemblies. The channel assemblies are arranged in side-by-side fashion in a defined panel area. Separation is achieved by accelerating the particles to a high velocity and bending the airstream such that the particle inertia carries the particles into a capture area. A small percentage of the incoming air is used to induce particulate matter to proceed into the capture area. By use of a turbulence generator particulates are kept in suspension in the capture area to enable easy exhaustion overboard.
