Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided for bleeding compressed air downstream from a diffuser outlet and upstream from a fuel injector in a gas turbine engine. A bleed manifold aft wall is disposed between the diffuser outlet and the fuel injectors and is configured for blocking recirculation flow of air discharged from the diffuser outlet to create a sheltered zone disposed in direct flow communication with the diffuser outlet. Bleed holes are disposed in the sheltered zone for channeling a portion of the diffuser discharge air directly therefrom as bleed air for use in an aircraft environmental system.
