Abstract

An aircraft heat exchanger that exchanges heat between fluid, like air, to be warmed and a medium, like a liquid, to be cooled has a first path that encounters the fluid to be warmed and carries the medium at a first temperature. A second path carries the medium at a second temperature adjacent to the first path. An insulation gap is disposed between the first path and the second path so that heat exchange between the first and second path is minimized.
