A device and method for drawing off and recirculating cooling streams, specifically for drawing off and recirculating a cooling stream of fuel for cooling at least one aircraft engine accessory, is disclosed. The device having a tubular jacket part defining a flow cross-section through which a primary stream, specifically a fuel stream, flows by way of an extraction pipe which is positioned approximately in the center of the flow cross-section, or jacket part, in order to draw off a cooling stream from the primary stream, by way of a hollow strut extending in the radial direction to divert this cooling stream from the device with the aid of the extraction pipe and to supply it to at least one accessory to be cooled, and by way of a return opening to recirculate the cooling stream directed through the accessory for cooling purposes to the primary stream.

1. A device for drawing off and recirculating a cooling stream comprising an annular jacket part defining a flow cross-section through which a primary stream flows, the primary stream comprising fuel, an extraction pipe positioned approximately in a center of the flow cross-section, the extraction pipe configured to be open at an upstream end and closed at a downstream end in order to draw off the cooling stream from the primary stream, a hollow strut extending in a radial direction to divert the cooling stream from the primary stream with the aid of the extraction pipe and to supply the cooling stream to at least one accessory to be cooled, and a return opening to recirculate the cooling stream directed through the accessory for cooling purposes to the primary stream. 2. The device according to claim 1, wherein the cooling stream is drawn off from the primary stream at stagnation pressure, that is a sum of static and dynamic flow pressure, in an area of the extraction pipe. 3. The device according to claim 1, wherein the cooling stream is recirculated into the primary stream at static flow pressure in an area of the return opening. 4. The device according to claim 1, wherein the return opening is positioned downstream from the extraction pipe with respect to a flow direction of the primary stream. 5. The device according to claim 1, wherein the return opening is integrated into a wall of the jacket part. 6. The device according to claim 1, wherein at least three struts extend from the jacket part in the radial direction and are positioned approximately in the center of the jacket part, wherein one of the struts forms the hollow strut and wherein the other struts serve to channel a flow within the flow cross-section defined by the jacket part. 7. The device according to claim 6, wherein the return opening is positioned in an area of the jacket part between two struts. 8. The device according to claim 1, wherein the device is implemented as a separate component integrated into an inlet port of a fuel pump. 9. The device according to claim 1, wherein the device is an integral part of an inlet port of a fuel pump. 10. A system for cooling aircraft engine accessories using fuel, comprising a fuel pump on an engine side to which a fuel stream is supplied by way of a fuel passage from a fuel tank on an aircraft side, wherein a cooling stream of fuel is drawn in an area of an inlet port of the fuel pump on the aircraft side, wherein the cooling stream is provided to at least one accessory to be cooled as a supply, and wherein the cooling stream directed through the accessory is recirculated to the fuel stream as a return, and wherein a device according to claim 1 is positioned in the area of the inlet port of the fuel pump for drawing off and recirculating the cooling stream. 11. An apparatus for drawing off and recirculating a cooling stream, comprising: an annular jacket, wherein the annular jacket defines a flow cross-section radially inward of the annular jacket through which a fuel stream is flowable; an extraction pipe positioned in the flow cross-section; a hollow strut associated with the extraction pipe, wherein the hollow strut extends in a radial direction and wherein the extraction pipe and the hollow strut define a first passage leading from the flow cross-section; and a second passage extending through the annular jacket, wherein the second passage terminates at a return opening at an inner wall of the annular jacket. 12. The apparatus according to claim 11, wherein the extraction pipe is open at a first longitudinal end and closed at a second longitudinal end. 13. The apparatus according to claim 11, wherein the extraction pipe is located in a center of the flow cross-section. 14. The apparatus according to claim 11, wherein the second passage is located at a downstream location in the flow cross-section and an inlet to the extraction pipe is located at an upstream location in the flow cross-section. 15. A method for drawing off and recirculating a cooling stream, comprising the steps of: flowing a fuel stream through a flow cross-section defined radially inward of an annular jacket; diverting a portion of the fuel stream from the flow cross-section external to the annular jacket via an extraction pipe positioned in the flow cross-section and a hollow strut extending radially from the extraction pipe; and returning the portion of the fuel stream to the flow cross-section via a passage extending through the annular jacket, wherein the passage terminates at a return opening at an inner wall of the annular jacket. 16. The method according to claim 15, wherein the extraction pipe is open at a first longitudinal end and closed at a second longitudinal end. 17. The method according to claim 15, wherein the extraction pipe is located in a center of the flow cross-section. 18. The method according to claim 15, wherein the passage is located at a downstream location in the flow cross-section and an inlet to the extraction pipe is located at an upstream location in the flow cross-section.
