Abstract

An exchanger has at least one heat exchange matrix, forming a cylindrical ng. In other embodiments, the exchanger is formed of at least two cylindrical rings, which are coaxial with the axis of the turbine. The flows of compressed cold air and of hot exhaust gas are directed into complementary sectors of the rings. The axial sealing devices are rollers, which are parallel to the axis of the matrices and are borned by their surface on the surface of the matrices in order to form the joint. The fluid distribution housing forms a counter current heat exchanger.
