Aircraft turbo machine exit guide vane comprising a bent lubricant passage of improved design
The invention relates to a guide vane for a bypass aircraft turbomachine, its aerodynamic part comprising a first lubricant cooling interior passage in which heat transfer structures are arranged and a second lubricant cooling interior passage in which heat transfer structures are arranged, the aerodynamic part comprising a bent area connecting a lubricant output end of the first interior passage to a lubricant input end of the second passage, the bent area extending along a curved generatrix and being partly delimited by the intrados wall and the extrados wall of the vane. According to the invention, the bent area comprises one or more lubricant guide(s) arranged between the intrados and extrados walls of the vane, and each extending substantially parallel to the curved generatrix of the bent area.
