Gas turbine engine having a nacelle and a breather duct

Breather air, containing oil mist, is discharged from a nacelle 4 of a gas turbine engine through an exhaust port 26 at a surface 22 of the nacelle 4. Energized air, at relatively high velocity is discharged from a clean air outlet 28, and forms a barrier between the breather air and the external su...

Zusammenfassung:Breather air, containing oil mist, is discharged from a nacelle 4 of a gas turbine engine through an exhaust port 26 at a surface 22 of the nacelle 4. Energized air, at relatively high velocity is discharged from a clean air outlet 28, and forms a barrier between the breather air and the external surface 22, so preventing contamination of the surface 22 by oil deposited from the breather air.
