Features of application and calculation of operating modes of heat pipes in low-temperature installations and life support systems

Objective. Various methods and technologies that facilitate the most rational use of energy, including that used in low-temperature installations and life support systems (air conditioning), are becoming increasingly effective. The aim of the study is to develop an optimal design of a heat recovery unit capable of integration into a low-temperature installation or air conditioning system. Method. The study is based on the use of energy-saving technologies in the creation of machines and devices for refrigeration and cryogenic equipment, air conditioning and life support systems, including through heat recovery. Result. A prototype of a low-temperature recuperator made of heat exchange pipes has been designed. Conclusion. The study of the parameters and operating modes of the prototype recuperator is provided for in the experimental setup. It is planned to develop a methodology for designing recuperators for operation in a low-temperature air conditioning system installation. The use of statistical methods is a tool for improving technical solutions, allowing to achieve the efficiency of heat exchangers - recuperators.
