The invention relates to an integrated heat exchanger in a composite fibre reinforced polymer material, more preferably to a structural integrated heat exchanger which may be used for replacement panels. The integrated heat exchangers may comprise a solid or fluidic heat exchanger material which is able to transfer heat around the structure. The heat exchanger may be selected to transfer excess heat away from the device or transfer heat into the device. The device comprising at least one fibre ply, wherein said ply is substantially encapsulated in a binder matrix to form a fibre reinforced polymer composite, wherein said device comprises at least one elongate void which comprises at least one heat exchanging medium.
