A gas turbine engine (10) has a nose cone (80), a fan for delivering air into a bypass duct as bypass flow, and into a core engine to be delivered to a compressor. The nose cone (80) includes a vent (84) to receive air and deliver the air across a heat exchanger (86), which receives a fluid to be cooled. The air from the vent (84) is delivered to an outlet (104) downstream of the heat exchanger (86), such that a majority of the air being delivered to the outlet (104) becomes part of the bypass flow.
