Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to apparatus and methods for exchanging heat between various fluids. More particularly, the present invention relates to apparatus and methods for exchanging heat between fuel, fan-air, and bleed-air in an integrated heat exchanger. Thereby, a weight and size of the integral heat exchanger are reduced compared to known non-integral heat exchangers. Advantageously, the heat exchanger may heat fuel to improve engine specific fuel consumption (SFC).
