Abstract
The relevance of the study of technical means for the production, management, application, and conversion of heat is conditioned by the rapid development of the energy sector, the global challenges of climate change, and the need for sustainable and efficient solutions for providing thermal energy, in connection with the need for energy efficiency, optimization of resource use, sustainability, and environmental compatibility, as well as technological progress and innovation. The purpose of this study is to investigate the problems associated with technical means for heat generation, identify shortcomings related to the production, use, and management of thermal energy flows, and consider technical devices for converting alternative types of energy into thermal energy to identify recommendations that would allow them to be used more efficiently. The main results of the study were the analysis of technical means and devices in the field of thermal power engineering and alternative energy, the main problems and shortcomings that lead to a decrease in the efficiency of the operation of technical means, heat loss, reduced comfort, and emissions of harmful substances into the environment, which can lead to a negative impact on human health, a decrease in quality, and other environmental problems.
