Advanced Scavenge Systems for an Integrated Engine Inlet Particle Separator.

摘要

In designing a device which scavenges the gas turbine engine integral particle separator, the fundamental problem is one of providing primarily a durable design that is practical in other important aspects which include, but is not limited to, power consumption, cost, physical size, and noise. An advanced scavenge system for an integrated engine inlet protection system was developed to demonstrate a 50-hour operational capability at a specified minimum performance level in the severe erosion environment typical of conditions at the exit from the engine particle separator. Several alternative configurations were studied; two were selected for detailed design and experimental evaluation.
