Abstract:
A particle separating structure for use with a turbine engine. The particle separating structure includes a main housing, first swirling structure, and second swirling structure. The first swirling structure is provided for swirling cooling fluid passing through a first cooling fluid flowpath defined in the main housing. The second swirling structure is provided for swirling cooling fluid passing through a second cooling fluid flowpath defined in the main housing. The first swirling structure is positionable in at least two positions, a first position allowing cooling fluid to pass through the first cooling fluid flowpath and a second position allowing cooling fluid to pass through the first and second cooling fluid flowpaths. The swirling of the cooling fluid causes particles in the cooling fluid to pass to a particle discharge zone while the cooling fluid passes out of the main housing through a cooling fluid outlet.
