Abstract: In this paper the results of experimental study on hydrodynamics and heat transfer during a single-phase coolant flow in a heat exchanger made of porous foam aluminum are presented. The study was carried out on a specially designed and manufactured experimental setup provided with measuring equipment. The setup is capable of testing in a wide range of thermal and hydraulic characteristics and recording the measurement results automatically. The results allowed verification of previously obtained analytical solutions. This made it possible to use them to develop universal methods for calculating specifications of new porous compact heat exchangers used for cooling heat-stressed elements in various devices. The results obtained in this experimental study confirmed the possibility of using porous compact heat exchangers in thermal protection systems with a specific heat release of up to 100 W/cm 2 .
