Abstract
Aircraft turbomachine including a centrifugal compressor, a combustion chamber, the combustion chamber being supplied by the compressor via a diffuser and via a straightener, and a heat exchanger, the exchanger including a first circuit, supplied with exhaust gas from the turbomachine, and a second circuit, which are connected by volutes on the one hand to an outlet of the diffuser and on the other hand to an inlet of the straightener, the volutes having reversed winding directions such that their connection ports to the exchanger are independent of one another and are substantially diametrically opposed, and such that the minimum cross section of each duct is situated at a larger cross section of the other duct.
