  • Patent number: 10384793
    Abstract: A nacelle for a propulsion unit includes at least one scoop opening to the external air, and a canal supplying external air from the scoop to two ducts which separate downstream of the canal, forming a dividing lip, and at least one exchanger to cool a stream of fluid entering the exchanger. The exchanger is arranged in the region of and in contact with the separation lip. The external air circulates from the scoop towards the two ducts making it possible to cool the stream of fluid entering the exchanger.
