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.
