ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A separator assembly for an air intake duct for a turbine device for normally removing particulate matter entrained in the air being introduced to the turbine device through the air duct. The improved separator assembly com- prises a separator element for removing particulate matter entrained in air passing therethrough which is mounted in the air duct so that at least a section of the separator element is movable between a separating position and a by- pass position. More particularly, the separator element is mounted in the air duct so that when it is in the separ- ating position, substantially all of the air passing through the air duct passes through the separator element and so that when it is in the bypass position, a substan- tial amount of the air passing through the air duct by- passes the separator element. A suitable sensing device is provided for sensing the pressure differential of the air across the separator element in the air duct and a clamping device is provided which normally clamps the separator element in the separating position. The clamping device is actuable to release the separator element from the separ- ating position to allow the separator element to move to the bypass position when the pressure differential sensed by the sensing device is above a predetermined pressure difference. In this mannter, air flow will be maintained to the turbine, even if the separator element becomes clogged or stopped, thereby preventing a situation in which the turbine might otherwise be starved of sufficient air flow.
