Abstract
A particle separator for the air cooling system of a gas turbine engine is provided in the form of a rotating chamber having an inlet disposed radially outward of the engine centerline at a distance greater than the distance of the chamber outlet from the engine centerline. The rotation of the chamber centrifuges foreign particles away from the chamber outlet to provide for separation of the particles from the air exiting the chamber.
