Abstract
A gas turbine engine is provided with a radially outer cooling air flow. A dirt separator is placed in the path of the radially outer cooling air flow, and includes a radially outer leg that defines a space to capture dirt or other impurities. A radially inner leg of the dirt separator includes open air flow passages to allow air to flow through the inner leg and downstream to cool various components within the gas turbine engine.
