Integral Engine Inlet Particle Separator. Volume 1. Technology Program
Abstract
Volume I of this report describes the results of a 30-month program to design and evaluate integral engine inlet separators in 2, 5, and 15 lb/sec sizes. The separators are designed to remove sand, dust, and single foreign objects from the air entering a turboshaft engine. Program effort included: (1) Definition of turboshaft engine environment in terms of amounts and types of ingested materials. (2) Mechanical and aerodynamic design trade-off studies of integral engine separators followed by full-scale model performance tests of 2 and 15 lb/sec separators. (3) Detailed design and procurement of 2, 5, and 15 lb/sec separators, and design and procurement of improved components. (4) Model tests of the separators to obtain detailed aerodynamic and off-design performance data. (5) Preparation of a separator design guide for integral engine separators in the 2 to 15 lb/sec size range. The design guide (including environment definition) is presented in Volume II of this report. Volume I documents all other aspects of the program.
