Abstract
A nacelle of a turbine engine includes an external cowling, an internal cowling, and a heat exchanger associated with at least one circulation duct for a fluid. In particular, the circulation duct forms a recirculation loop through the heat exchanger, and the recirculation loop includes at least one circulation area extending at least partially along the external cowling in contact with a wall of the external cowling so as to allow exchange of heat by conduction with the air outside the nacelle.
