Method of the Loop Heat Pipe's (LHP's) heat transfer characteristics' determination by using nomograms is described in present paper. Graphs, presenting the characteristics of the different parts of the LHP, that have been drawn in combined coordinate system, permit to determine the “working points” which meet the main requirements on the LHP operation.

The mathematical model of capillary pump loop (CPL) with the capillary pump for a conditions of radiative heat removal in the condenser has been considered. The CPL calculation results of both functional characteristics are being analised with the presence of in flow heat from the outside sources and the influence of non-condensing gases and mass forces on the starting and dynamic characteristics of the installation. The heat transfer system is shown to possess controlling properties.
