    Abstract: An inertial inlet particle separator system for a vehicle engine is provided. A separator assembly and collector assembly are coupled to the scavenge flow path and configured to receive the scavenge air. The collector inlet has a throat defining a cumulative throat area at each position along the throat length from the first throat end to the second throat end. The collector body defines a cross-sectional area associated with each position along the throat length between the first throat end and the second throat end. The collector outlet is coupled to the collector body such that scavenge air flows into the collector inlet, through the collector body, and out through the collector outlet. At a first position between the first throat end and the second throat end, the respective cross-sectional area of the collector body is greater than or equal to the respective cumulative throat area.

    Abstract: A multi-channel particle separator includes a plurality of vanes. Each vane is spaced apart from at least one other adjacent vane to define a flow channel, and includes a leading edge, a trailing edge, a first side wall, a second sidewall, and a splitter. The first side wall extends between the leading edge and the trailing edge. The second side wall is spaced apart from the first side wall and extends from the leading edge toward the trailing edge. The splitter may be rotationally coupled to the trailing edge and extend toward the leading edge. The splitter is spaced apart from the first side wall to define a scavenge volume and is rotatable between an extended position and a retracted position. The vanes may also or instead be coupled to a ring-shaped structure.

    Abstract: An environmental control system (ECS) for an aircraft may include a mixing diffuser configured to admit a stream of cold air and a stream of hot air and a reheater-condenser fluidly coupled with an output end of the mixing diffuser. The mixing diffuser may include a diffuser cone with a plurality of holes configured to allow passage of hot air into the stream of cold air so that the cold air and the hot air are combined to produce a mixed airstream. The reheater-condenser may include mixing tabs configured to produce further mixing of the mixed airstream.

    Abstract: A method for scavenging small particles from a turbine engine includes directing compressed air through a flowpath, downstream of a compressor, which causes a reduction in a radial flow component and the introduction of or an increase in an axial flow component of the compressed air, removing a portion of the compressed air from the flowpath and directing the portion into a scavenge plenum, the scavenge plenum being positioned adjacent to and radially outward from the flow path, and returning the portion of the compressed air from the plenum to the flowpath while maintaining a majority of the small particles that were present in the portion within the scavenge plenum. Further, the method includes removing the majority of small particles from the plenum. The step of removing occurs intermittently during engine operation, during engine shutdown, or while the engine is not operation, but does not occur continuously during engine operation.

    Abstract: A particle separator includes a housing defining an inlet and an outlet. A flow stream is directed from the inlet to the outlet. A number of dividers are disposed in the housing and separate flow channels from each other. The flow channels extend from the inlet to the outlet. The dividers each have a profile so that the flow channels follow the profile. The dividers each include a plurality of cavities that open to each of the flow channels and that have blind ends. The cavities each have an aspect ratio greater than one, and are configured to collect particles from the flow stream.
