A device for an aircraft powerplant de-icing system making it possible to reduce or eliminate a tonal noise generated by a flow of air along a surface having an orifice opening into a cavity extending on the side opposite this surface, the orifice having a downstream edge relative to the direction of flow of the air, includes a deflector positioned next to the downstream edge, extending towards the inside of the cavity, and oriented perpendicularly to the direction of flow of the air to divert towards the outside of the orifice vortices formed in the shear layer due to the flow of the air along the surface over each orifice. The deflector at the downstream edge of each exhaust orifice of the de-icing system makes it possible to redirect the vortices outside the cavity while preventing them from being greatly deformed when they pass over the downstream edge.
An aircraft powerplant de-icing system, located in a lip surrounding an air intake of a powerplant, said lip extending between an outer wall of a nacelle of the powerplant and an inner duct channeling the air towards a fan arranged downstream of the air intake of the powerplant, said de-icing system comprising:
