摘要

The debris filter (20) comprises a plurality of plates (26) arranged side-by-side in a spaced relationship and delimiting between them flow passages (28) extending through the debris filter from a lower inlet face (22) to an upper outlet face (24) of the debris filter, each passage (28) having an intermediate section (44) offset with respect to an inlet section (40) and an outlet section (42). According to one aspect of the invention, at least one plate (26) is formed with debris catching features (46, 60) distributed along the plate (26) and protruding into at least one passage (28) delimited by the plate (26)
