A propulsion assembly having a heat exchanger and a system for supplying cold air including an air inlet in a stream of air, an air duct connecting the air inlet fluidly to the exchanger, and an air flow valve with a variable flow rate inside the duct, the valve including a hub having blades projecting radially from the hub forming a helix, each blade having a root mounted rotatably on the hub, the valve comprising an electric motor to drive the hub by a motor shaft, and structure for varying pitch angle of the blades, the extremity of each blade being flush with a wall of the duct, the valve controllable to a closed configuration where pitch angle of the blades is 0° and the valve prevents passage of air, an open configuration where pitch angle is 90°, and/or a charge configuration where pitch angle is between 0° and 90°.

A turbine engine heat exchanger has an array of heat exchanger plates mounted to an inner case wall for providing heat transfer from a bleed flowpath to a bypass flowpath. Each plate has: first and second faces along the bypass flowpath; a proximal edge mounted to the inner case wall; an inlet along the proximal edge; an outlet along the proximal edge; and a branch segment of the bleed flowpath passing from the inlet to the outlet

A heat sink for location in a fluid flow, including a heat sink base and a plurality of heat dissipating elements, such as elongate fins, extending from the surface of the heat sink base. In certain arrangements the heat sink is provided with a diversion flow passageway for diverting a fraction of fluid flow away from the heat dissipating elements. In other arrangements there may be two arrays of elongate fins laterally offset. In yet a further arrangement the heat sink may be configured to promote the generation of at least one vortex.

A heat exchanger for use in a gas turbine engine has a central body including an inlet manifold and at least one tube providing an outlet manifold, and a plurality of tubes communicating holes in an outer periphery of the inlet manifold to holes in an outer periphery of the outlet manifold, and passages for cooling air to pass across the tubes. A gas turbine engine is also disclosed.

A fan casing assembly for a turbine engine including a casing having an annular fan cooler. The annular fan cooler includes first and second connection assemblies to fix movement of the fan cooler during engine operation, while permitting circumferential thermal growth of the fan cooler without suffering from high cycle fatigue.

A gas turbine engine flow duct comprising a flow duct disposed along an engine centerline of the gas turbine engine and defining a stream flow passage, and first and second rows of heat exchangers disposed along the engine centerline of the gas turbine engine and integrated in the flow duct in fluid communication with the stream flow passage of the flow duct.

A method of controlling an aircraft gas turbine engine cooling system. The cooling system includes a heat exchanger having a first fluid path through which fan air flows, and a second fluid path through which relatively hot compressor air flows. The cooling system includes a valve configurable between an open position corresponding to a first operating mode, where fan air flows through the first path cooling the compressor air in the second path to a lower temperature, and a closed position corresponding to a second operating mode, where fan air may flow through the first path at a reduced rate, thus the compressor air in the second path could be cooled to a lesser extent. The valve is operated in first mode when the aircraft is in a descent mode, or when turbine entry temperature is above a predetermined amount. Otherwise, the valve is operated in second mode.

A heat exchanger for an aircraft engine includes: a body including a plate-like first member and a plate-like second member that are stacked in a thickness direction of the first and second members and joined together, and a channel which is defined in the body and in which the cooling target fluid flows; and a corrugated fin plate disposed in the channel in the body. The body is bent along a curved surface to which the heat exchanger is attached. A plurality of heat dissipation fins stand on an outer surface of at least one of the first member or the second member.
