Abstract
A body panel (1) for a transport vehicle—in particular for an aircraft—includes a supporting plate (2) and a heat-exchange device (6), the supporting plate forming (2) on the outer face (4) thereof facing the exchanger (6) an indentation (10) extending in the body of the supporting plate (2) holding the heat-exchange device (6) such that the heat-exchange device (6) does not extend beyond the general profile of the body of the transport vehicle.
Claims19
Body panel (1) for a transport vehicle comprising a heat exchange device (6), said body panel (1) having a smaller dimension, named the thickness, extending in a first direction, named the radial direction (50), and two larger dimensions extending in two directions perpendicular to one another and perpendicular to the radial direction (50),
- said panel (1) comprising a supporting plate (2) having a first main face, named the inner face (3), intended to be in contact with an internal space (15) of the transport vehicle and a second face, named the outer face (4), opposite said inner face (3);
- the heat exchange device (6) is fastened to the supporting plate (2) by a fastening device (9) and extends on said outer face (4) of the supporting plate (2) and so as to extend in contact with an external environment (5) of the transport vehicle, said heat exchange device (6) being shaped to allow a circulation of a heat transfer fluid (7) in a heat transfer fluid circuit (8) comprising the heat exchange device (6) between at least one heat transfer fluid inlet (11) of the heat exchange device (6) and at least one heat transfer fluid (7) outlet (12) of the heat exchange device (6) and to allow a dissipation of heat of the heat transfer fluid (7) to the external environment (5) of the transport vehicle;
- wherein the supporting plate (2) forms, on its outer face (4), an indentation (10) extending in the thickness of the supporting plate (2), said indentation (10) being adapted to receive the heat exchange device (6) and so that the heat exchange device (6) does not extend beyond the general profile of the body of the transport vehicle.
