Publication number: 20250129744Abstract: A cyclonic particle separator (126) may include a housing (130) including a cylindrical sidewall (132) having a plurality of flow entry ports (134). A cover member (136) closes a first end (138) of the cylindrical sidewall (132), and a mounting member (140) having a flow exit opening (160) defined therethrough is at a second end (142) of the cylindrical sidewall (132). At least one particle exit passage (176) is defined in the housing (130).
