The article provides the calculation and estimation of mass-dimensional parameters of the radiators used as the end and intermediate gas coolers in the closed space-based gas turbine plants. We show peculiar features of the radiators calculation procedure and conduct comparative analysis of the mass-dimensional parameters of the emitting surface of the radiator with the contour of the intermediate liquid-metal coolant and the radiator with the direct scheme. The calculation shows that the direct scheme has the most lightweight construction and has fewer radiating elements than the radiator with the intermediate contour of the liquid-metal coolant.
