    摘要: An electric propulsion assembly for an aircraft includes a nacelle having a nacelle cowl which defines an inner space for arranging an electric propulsion unit, which includes a blower, of the aircraft. An electric motor assembly is placed in the inner space and connected to the propulsion unit to supply power to the propulsion unit. An airflow generated by the blower flows in a space between the motor assembly and the nacelle cowl defining a duct to supply thrust to the aircraft. A power electronics system has at least one heat exchanger to transfer thermal energy from the system to a work fluid to cool the system. The heat exchanger is placed to project at least partially into the duct, so that the work fluid consists of the air flow generated by the blower.
