Abstract
Abstract This paper shows the problem with heat exchange depending on units of thermal power plant equipment. The type of structures is determined and the heat flow for different pressures is proposed. Studies are developed for the condition of the heat exchange surface. Devices with porous coatings eliminate the development of cracks in the components and units of TPP equipment have been suggested. The research is applicable to gas turbine units of TPP. Comparable capillary-porous and flow systems have high reliability, but the former allowed the reduction of coolant consumption dozens up to 80 times. The results show that at higher heat loads it is suitable to use in porous surfaces to control the cooling surface. Evaluation of capillary-porous structures has shown their advantages over traditional cooling systems.
