The invention relates to a heat exchanger (70) for an outer skin (4) of an aircraft, comprising at least one feed line (80) for a coolant, at least one discharge line (82) for the coolant and at least one bundle of coolant channels (76) through which coolant flows, wherein in the case of the heat exchanger being attached to the outer skin, the coolant channels are positioned directly on the outer skin of the aircraft, at least in areas, for dissipating heat to the surrounding environment of the aircraft. This results in a relatively flat and effective heat exchanger that is not reliant on additional active cooling devices, the surface of the heat exchanger being dimensioned in accordance with the heat to be dissipated. In addition, the heat exchanger can comprise cooling fins (86) around which air flows for increasing the heat dissipation. The invention further relates to a cooling system for an aircraft comprising at least one of said heat exchangers, use of said heat exchanger and an aircraft comprising at least one of said heat exchangers. |
