The invention relates to a heat exchanger (70) for an outer skin (4) of an aircraft, comprising at least one feed line (80) for a coolant, at least one discharge line (82) for the coolant and at least one bundle of coolant channels (76) through which coolant flows, wherein in the case of the heat exchanger being attached to the outer skin, the coolant channels are positioned directly on the outer skin of the aircraft, at least in areas, for dissipating heat to the surrounding environment of the aircraft. This results in a relatively flat and effective heat exchanger that is not reliant on additional active cooling devices, the surface of the heat exchanger being dimensioned in accordance with the heat to be dissipated. In addition, the heat exchanger can comprise cooling fins (86) around which air flows for increasing the heat dissipation. The invention further relates to a cooling system for an aircraft comprising at least one of said heat exchangers, use of said heat exchanger and an aircraft comprising at least one of said heat exchangers.

Linvention concerne un élément caloporteur (70) pour une enveloppe extérieure (4) dun aéronef, comprenant au moins une conduite darrivée (80) pour un fluide réfrigérant, au moins une conduite de départ (82) pour le fluide réfrigérant et au moins un faisceau de canaux à fluide réfrigérant (76) traversés par le courant de fluide réfrigérant. Selon linvention, les canaux à fluide réfrigérant sont positionnés au moins dans certaines zones directement sur lenveloppe extérieure de laéronef en vue de délivrer de la chaleur à lenvironnement de laéronef lorsque lélément caloporteur est fixé sur lenveloppe extérieur. Linvention permet ainsi de réaliser un élément caloporteur relativement plat et efficace qui nest pas dépendant de dispositifs de refroidissement actifs supplémentaires et dont la surface est dimensionnée en fonction de la chaleur à dissiper. De plus, lélément caloporteur peut présenter des ailettes de refroidissement (86), autour desquelles de lair sécoule, en vue daccroître la dissipation de chaleur. Linvention concerne en plus un système de refroidissement pour un aéronef comprenant au moins un élément caloporteur de ce type, lutilisation dun tel élément caloporteur et un aéronef équipé dau moins un tel élément caloporteur.
