A particle separator includes a housing through which a flow stream is directed. A number of guide vanes are disposed in the housing. The guide vanes have a profile wherein the flow stream is guided to follow the profile. The guide vanes have a wall surrounding an open interior that defines a vane plenum. A plurality of through-holes extend through the wall of the guide vane. The through-holes are open to the flow stream and to the vane plenum. A duct connects with the vane plenum and is configured to discharge particles collected in the vane plenum.
