A particle separator is provided and includes a vessel and a scupper. The vessel is receptive of a fluid flow and configured to output the fluid flow at first and second outlets. The vessel includes a curved, inwardly facing surface. The scupper is disposed within the vessel to define a first flowpath along which the received fluid flow is directed to flow toward the first outlet between the curved, inwardly facing surface and a first side of the scupper, and a second flowpath along which the received fluid flow is directed to flow toward the second outlet along a second side of the scupper, which is opposite the first side.

1. A particle separator, comprising: a vessel, which is receptive of a fluid flow and configured to output the fluid flow at first and second outlets, the vessel including a curved, inwardly facing surface that has a major longitudinal axis and defines an interior extending with a substantially uniform interior width along the major longitudinal axis; anda scupper disposed within the vessel to extend along an entire axial length of the vessel to define:a first flowpath along which the received fluid flow is directed to flow toward the first outlet between the curved, inwardly facing surface and a first side of the scupper, anda second flowpath along which the received fluid flow is directed to flow toward the second outlet along a second side of the scupper, which is opposite the first side. 2. The particle separator according to claim 1, wherein the vessel is disposable with the first outlet disposed at a lowermost point relative to a gravitational frame of reference. 3. The particle separator according to claim 1, wherein the scupper is connected with the curved, inwardly facing surface of the vessel at a point proximate to the first outlet and crosses over the first outlet and a portion of the scupper that crosses over the first outlet has a similar curvature as the curved, inwardly facing surface of the vessel. 4. The particle separator according to claim 1, wherein the scupper is formed to define vents configured to permit fluid communication from the first flowpath to the second flowpath. 5. The particle separator according to claim 1, further comprising: an inlet chamber, from which the vessel receives the fluid flow; andan outlet chamber, which is fluidly communicative with the second outlet. 6. The particle separator according to claim 5, wherein the vessel, the inlet chamber and the outlet chamber have a combined oblong shape. 7. The particle separator according to claim 5, wherein an exit portion of the inlet chamber and an inlet portion of the outlet chamber are defined at opposite sides or opposite ends of the vessel. 8. The particle separator according to claim 5, wherein the inlet and outlet chambers are wrapped around one another. 9. A particle separator, comprising: a vessel including a curved, inwardly facing surface defining an inlet, an outlet and a drain,the surface having a major longitudinal axis and further defining an interior extending with a substantially uniform interior width along the major longitudinal axis; anda scupper disposed within the vessel to extend along an entire axial length of the vessel to define:a first flowpath from the inlet to the drain between the curved, inwardly facing surface and a first side of the scupper, anda second flowpath along a second side of the scupper, which is opposite the first side. 10. The particle separator according to claim 9, wherein the vessel is disposable with the drain disposed at a lowermost point relative to a gravitational frame of reference. 11. The particle separator according to claim 9, wherein: the scupper is connected with the curved, inwardly facing surface of the vessel at a point proximate to the drain, crosses over the drain and extends toward the inlet, anda portion of the scupper that crosses over the drain and extends toward the inlet has a similar curvature as the curved, inwardly facing surface of the vessel. 12. The particle separator according to claim 9, wherein the scupper is formed to define vents configured to permit fluid communication from the first flowpath to the second flowpath. 13. The particle separator according to claim 9, further comprising: an inlet chamber, which is fluidly communicative with the inlet; andan outlet chamber, which is fluidly communicative with the outlet. 14. The particle separator according to claim 13, wherein the vessel, the inlet chamber and the outlet chamber have a combined oblong shape. 15. The particle separator according to claim 13, wherein an exit portion of the inlet chamber and an inlet portion of the outlet chamber are defined at one of opposite sides of the vessel, opposite ends of the vessel or along a center line of the vessel. 16. The particle separator according to claim 13, wherein the inlet and outlet chambers are wrapped around one another. 17. A particle separator, comprising: a vessel including a curved, inwardly facing surface defining an inlet and an outlet, which is coplanar with the inlet, and a drain,the surface having a major longitudinal axis and further defining an interior extending with a substantially uniform interior width along the major longitudinal axis; anda scupper disposed within the vessel to extend along an entire axial length of the vessel to define:a first flowpath from the inlet to the drain between the curved, inwardly facing surface and a first side of the scupper, anda second flowpath along a second side of the scupper, which is opposite the first side.
