Abstract
A fluid cooler for installation in a bypass duct of a turbofan gas turbine engine and associated methods are provided. The fluid cooler includes an inlet duct, a heat exchanger and an outlet duct. The inlet duct includes an inlet protruding into the bypass duct to receive a portion of the bypass air into the inlet duct. The heat exchanger is in fluid communication with the inlet duct. The heat exchanger facilitates heat transfer between a fluid and the portion of bypass air received into the inlet duct. The heat exchanger defines a general flow direction for the portion of bypass air that is different from the main flow direction of bypass air inside the bypass duct. The outlet duct conveys the portion of bypass air from the heat exchanger back to the bypass duct.
