The paper deals with the analysis of the impact of inlet air temperature on the exergy efficiency and exergy of the losing heat flow and determination of the relation between the exergy and thermal efficiency in an exchanger consisting of gravity heat pipes. The assessment of heat processes quality and transformation of energy in the exchanger are also dealt with.
