Abstract

The article deals various ways of heating hot water where heat is transferred by the basic phenomena of heat transfer theories, which take place on an innovative basis with the advantage of the absence of mechanical elements. The heat transfer in this case ensures a change in the phase-in phase of the working substance – the fluid – from which the thermal output and the efficiency of the device are derived. The devices described in this article work on the same principle of heat transfer. Each device is characterized by own construction and the principle of heat transfer. Heat pipes are classified according to the way of operation and the place of use. Subdivision of the heat pipe, in terms of its actual, use in the desired temperature range. At present, heating plants use cooling technologies (nuclear power, space stations, IT).
