Abstract
An intake device for a gas turbine engine includes a snorkel and a housing. The snorkel includes a tubular body and an inlet aperture. The tubular body extends between a closed end and an open end opposite the closed end. The inlet aperture is formed through the tubular body proximate the closed end. The housing is mounted to the snorkel. The housing includes an inner wall, an outer wall, a side wall, a settling chamber, and an outlet tube. The inner wall is adjacent the snorkel. The outer wall is opposite the inner wall. The side wall extends from the inner wall to the outer wall. The settling chamber is within the side wall between the inner wall and the outer wall. The settling chamber is fluidly coupled with the open end. The outlet tube extends through the housing from the settling chamber to an exterior of the housing.
