Abstract
A diffuser particle separator may be integrated into a gas turbine engine to remove corrosive dust and salt particles from the engine's core air flow. The air flow may pass over a series of particle accumulator entrance orifices, trapping particles in a particle accumulator while allowing the air flow to continue unimpeded. Since dust deposits may become molten at high temperatures, removal of dust from the core and secondary airflow may be critical for long-life superalloy and ceramic components, particularly those with small diameter air-cooling holes and thermal barrier coatings.
