Abstract
A drain includes a vortex throttle, to remove water from a pressure sensing line. The vortex throttle resists the flow of air through it. Therefore, for a given diameter of inlet and outlet ports the mass flow rate through the vortex throttle is much smaller than through a plain hole of the same diameter. The inlet and outlet ports may therefore be made larger than in known arrangements (so reducing the risk of blockage), but the operation of the vortex throttle restricts the mass flow of air through the drain pipe (so minimizing the detrimental effects on the engine's operation). Collected water effectively drains from the pressure sensing line, without the disadvantages of known arrangements.
