More Information
Summary:A fluid cooling device for the propulsion unit of a propfan type aircraft including a compressed air intake at the air compressor of the turbomachine, an air vein capable of conveying the collected compressed air to a cooler, and a system for conveying the heat of the lubricant to the cooler is provided. The cooler includes a matrix body provided with a plurality of ducts for a cooling agent, the ducts extending along a first inner surface up to a second outer surface of the matrix body such that the collected pressurized air serving as a cooling agent can pass through the matrix body, the matrix body of the cooler forming a portion of the outer skin of the propulsion unit; and a set of fins extending from the outer surface towards the outside of the propulsion unit, and oriented mainly parallel to the air flow direction when the aircraft is in flight.
