Abstract

A gas turbine engine includes: an inlet guide vane; an inlet channel extending from a location downstream of the inlet guide vane to a stem manifold; and an outlet channel extending to an outlet port, the outlet port configured to dump anti-ice air overboard, wherein the inlet guide vane includes an anti-ice cavity in fluid communication with the inlet channel and the outlet channel such that anti-ice air, flowing from a downstream location within a core flow of the gas turbine, flows from the inlet channel, through the inlet guide vane, and to the outlet channel.
