Abstract
The possibility is considered of creating a passive heat removal system with an ebullience channel and natural circulation of coolers, in which the residual heat release could be directed not only upward but also downward from the source to the final absorber. Experimental results on the properties of the system in the static and dynamic regimes and examples of its possible application are presented.
