Abstract

An exchanger (10) intended for cooling air admitted into an air conditioning circuit of an aircraft is housed inside the rigid caisson of the strut by which a turboreactor is suspended from the wing unit. The exchanger comprises superposed hollow plates (12) forming air guides for the relatively cold air drawn off in the fan duct of the turboreactor. More precisely, this air is drawn off at the front, alternatively on both sides of the exchanger, via each of the plates (12). It is released behind and on the opposite side. The warm air intended for the air conditioning circuit circulates from front to back between the plates (12).
