CONSTRUCTIVE CALCULATION OF HEAT PIPE
The article reflects the results of the design calculation of the heat pipe. The selection of technical characteristics of the pipe and the working fluid, which is water. Was made selection of the material of the heat pipe and wick for compatibility of the working fluid with the material. The maximum heat transfer capacity of the pipe, which is 310 W, was also calculated. The economic effect for a heat exchange unit consisting of a bundle of heat pipes was also analyzed and it was found that the cost of it is significantly less than that of an electric heater.
