The present invention provides a heat exchanger including a heat exchange panel configured to form an exterior surface of the vehicle (e.g. an aircraft), the heat exchange panel having at least a portion made of a thermally conductive material, and one or more vortex generators protruding from the exterior surface and configured to direct airflow to particular areas on the aircraft, which may then prevent large scale airflow separation. The vortex generator also improves the surface mixing of air flowing over the exterior surface of the heat exchange panel.
