Systems and methods for cooling bleed air from an aircraft engine are described. An example system includes a housing to bifurcate airflow exiting a fan of an engine fan system, a pre-cooler assembly disposed within the housing to remove heat from the bleed air, and an inlet duct within the housing to direct the airflow to the pre-cooler assembly. The example system also includes at least one diverter duct within the housing and coupled to the inlet duct to divert the airflow around the pre-cooler assembly. The at least one diverter duct includes an exit directing the airflow into a fan duct of the engine fan system. The example system also includes at least one valve to control an amount of airflow through the inlet duct and an amount of airflow through the at least one diverter duct.
