Abstract
A heat exchanger system for an aircraft comprises nacelle having an inlet and an outlet, a nacelle heat exchanger within the nacelle, and a fan system within the nacelle. Air flows into the nacelle through the inlet and out of the nacelle through the outlet. The nacelle heat exchanger is configured to transfer heat away from a coolant using the air in an airflow to the nacelle heat exchanger. The fan system is configured to increase the airflow to the nacelle heat exchanger.
