Abstract
A heat exchanger assembly for a gas turbine engine includes an access panel configured to be removably coupled with an outer wall of a bypass duct arranged circumferentially around a central axis of the gas turbine engine. A heat exchanger is adapted to receive cooling fluid therein and is coupled with the access panel. A shroud extends between the access panel and the heat exchanger to collect a first portion of a flow of air through the bypass duct and direct the first portion through the heat exchanger.
