Patent number: 11199108Abstract: The outlet of a heat exchange circuit extending under a wall, such as a nacelle cowling of an aircraft engine, is divided into openings in the form of parallel slots which are elongated in the longitudinal direction and successively arranged in the transverse direction to divide the hot gas into streams while facilitating the circulation of fresh gas streams, originating from an external flow, on the intermediate laminates. The hot gas cannot fall back easily onto the outer face of the wall and risk damaging the wall, and the gas mixes more effectively with the fresh outdoor air. The openings are provided with nozzles flaring in the transverse direction and the downstream longitudinal direction to facilitate the mixing of the hot and cold gas streams.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2019Date of Patent: December 14, 2021Assignee: SAFRAN AIRCRAFT ENGINESInventors: Romain Jean-Claude Ferrier, Sébastien Christophe Chalaud, Philippe Gérard Chanez, Lauren Davis, Bastien Pierre Verdier, Christian Sylvain Vessot
