description After successful increase of levels of thermal resistances of building enclosing structures, expenses of heat on ventilation of rooms in many cases reached similar magnitudes of indicators of heating in a cold season. Therefore, the development of new efficient heat exchangersheat exchangers of small size is of particular importance. It is possible now to create highperformance thin (of a few centimeters) heat exchangers of such high-porous heat-conducting materials as copper, aluminum, etc. Highly porous materials include porous-permeable structures having an open porosity (with a total pore surface area of more than 50 % in relation to a smooth surface). One of the main conditions for the qualitative use of such high-porous thermal conductive materials is the rapid removal of condensate outside the heat exchange zone without a significant increase in filtration resistance. Thermal calculation of such heat exchangers is based on the criteria of Fourier (Fu) and Predvoditelev (Рd). Various ways of using high-porous heat-conducting materials in the design of heat exchangers are considered. The method of production of the heat exchanger based on the application of porous-permeable material in the channels of the heat exchange part of recuperative devices is presented; the difference of the method is that the heat exchange part is performed of two or more parallel heat exchange plates with spacing between them. It has been found that a significant increase in the energy efficiency of heat exchangers of this type is possible due to the application of even small discontinuities of the heat-conducting layers of high-porous materials so to use the specific features of increased heat exchange of the initial sections with the flowing fluid. One of the main advantages of using air-to-air heat exchangers made of foamed high-heat-conducting material in the climatic conditions of Belarus is freezing resistance.
