Device for exhaust air cooling of aircraft air-conditioning systems comprising a bypass channel that bypasses an aircraft air-conditioning system arranged downstream of a ram air channel with a ram air inlet channel portion, and merges into an outlet channel, arranged downstream of the aircraft air-conditioning system, before a discharge opening for exhaust air, a common inlet being provided for the ram air channel and the bypass channel.

Device and method for cooling exhaust air of aircraft air-conditioning systems

An aircraft comprises an outer aerodynamic surface and an exhaust duct having an opening in the outer aerodynamic surface. The duct has a duct wall curved at the opening so as to blend with the aerodynamic surface downstream of the duct. At least one fixed flow diverter is provided for diverting high temperature exhaust gas exiting the duct away from the aerodynamic surface immediately downstream of the duct opening. The curved duct wall provides low aerodynamic drag in cruise. The flow diverter(s) give aircraft designers freedom in terms of where the duct opening can be positioned without compromising the structural integrity of the aircraft through excessive heating of the aerodynamic surface immediately downstream of the duct opening.
