Abstract

An engine component for a turbine engine includes a particle collector having a substrate configured to retain at least some particles from a particle-laden stream passing through a portion of the engine. A fluid bypass around the substrate of the collector enables the particle-laden stream to bypass the substrate if the substrate is filled with particles.
