DEBRIS REMOVAL SYSTEM

摘要

A casing for a turbo-machine at least partially defines a flow path for a working fluid through or around one or more of a compressor section, a combustor assembly, or a turbine section. The casing defines an inner surface and the inner surface defines a plurality of debris routing channels. The plurality of debris routing channels are configured to route debris in a working fluid within the casing towards a debris collection mechanism.

1. A debris removal system for a turbo-machine, the turbo-machine comprising a compressor section, a combustor assembly, and a turbine section, the debris removal system comprising:
a casing at least partially defining a flow path for a working fluid through or around one or more of the compressor section, the combustor assembly, and the turbine section of the turbo-machine, the casing defining an inner surface in contact with the working fluid, the inner surface defining a plurality of debris routing channels; and a debris collection mechanism, the plurality of debris routing channels extending generally towards the debris collection mechanism, such that the plurality of debris routing channels route debris towards the debris collection mechanism during operation of the turbo-machine.
