Abstract
The heat exchanger comprises an intermediate portion ( ) of refractory composite material, e.g. of C/C composite material, in which fluid circulation channels ( ) are formed, and which is interposed between a portion of refractory composite material, e.g. having a ceramic matrix, such as C/SiC composite material, forming a heat shield ( ) and a portion of thermostructural composite material, e.g. C/C composite material, forming a heat exchanger support structure ( ), the component portions of the heat exchanger being assembled together by brazing. The heat exchanger can be used as a wall element exposed to an intense heat flux, in particular in a nuclear fusion reactor or in a ram jet combustion chamber.
