Systems and methods for dry fog inlet particle separator

An inlet particle separator system for a gas turbine engine includes a separator manifold. The separator manifold includes an inlet upstream from an outlet. The inlet is to receive an incoming airflow, and the outlet is to be fluidly coupled to an inlet of the gas turbine engine. The inlet particle separator system includes at least one dry fog nozzle coupled proximate the inlet so as to face at least partially away from the inlet. The dry fog nozzle is external to the separator manifold, and the dry fog nozzle is to direct a spray of dry fog in a direction transverse to the incoming airflow to agglomerate with fine particles in the incoming airflow to form agglomerated particles. The inlet particle separator system includes a scavenging system coupled to the separator manifold downstream from the inlet, and the scavenging system removes the agglomerated particles from the separator manifold.
