Abstract
A bleed system for a turbine engine includes a bleed port, an inlet passage, an outlet passage, a cavity and a flow diverter. The bleed port is disposed longitudinally along a core flowpath between an inlet into the core flowpath and an exhaust from the core flowpath. The bleed port fluidly couples the core flowpath to the inlet passage. The flow diverter is configured to move between a first position and a second position. When the flow diverter is in the first position, the flow diverter fluidly decouples the inlet passage from the outlet passage, and the cavity is fluidly coupled with the inlet passage and is downstream of the flow diverter. When the flow diverter is in the second position, the flow diverter fluidly couples the inlet passage to the outlet passage.
