Abstract
A gas turbine engine includes an intake device. The intake device includes a snorkel and a filter case. The snorkel includes a tubular body and an inlet aperture. The tubular body extends between a closed end and an open end opposite the closed end. The inlet aperture is formed through the tubular body proximate the closed end. The tubular body forms a first portion of a gas flow path for a bleed gas from the inlet aperture to the open end. The filter case is connected to the tubular body. The filter case extends between a first end and a second end. The filter case includes a sidewall extending from the first end to the second end. The sidewall surrounds a filter cavity. The filter case is configured to receive the bleed gas from the open end of the tubular body. The filter case and the snorkel form a unitary component.
