First equipment heating device
First Claim
1. An aircraft provided with at least two pieces of aeronautic equipment, a first piece of equipment comprising a part intended to be arranged at a skin of the aircraft and means for heating the part, characterized in that the heating means comprise a thermodynamic loop comprising a closed circuit in which a heat transfer fluid circulates, the closed circuit comprising an evaporator associated with functional means of the second piece of equipment of the aircraft forming a heat source giving off heat during their operation and a zone in which a condensation of the heat transfer fluid can occur in the appendage to heat it, and in that outside the evaporator, the circuit in which the fluid circulates is formed by a tubular channel with an empty section.

Abstract
An aircraft provided with at least two pieces of aeronautic equipment, a first piece of equipment (25) including a part intended to be arranged at a skin (27) of the aircraft and elements for heating the part, characterized in that the heating elements include a thermodynamic loop including a closed circuit in which a heat transfer fluid circulates, the closed circuit including an evaporator (14) associated with functional elements (80) of the second piece of equipment (81) of the aircraft forming a heat source giving off heat during their operation and a zone in which a condensation of the heat transfer fluid can occur in the appendage to heat it, and in that outside the evaporator (14), the circuit in which the fluid circulates is formed by a tubular channel with an empty section.
