MODERNIZATION OF HYDRODYNAMIC OPERATING MODES OF

The practical significance of the research results lies in the development of improved designs of self-regulating active elements of the confuser-diffuser type with improved hydrodynamic characteristics as well as engineering methods for calculating self-regulating active elements and solar heating plants based on them. The results of the completed scientific research allow us to develop designs of the simplest self-regulating active elements that provide a significant increase in energy efficiency cost-effectiveness and reliability of solar systems a reduction in material consumption and the cost of individual elements and units and a significant simplification of their operation compared to traditional solutions.
