The development of a fine-dispersed droplet sheet of optimal structure for frameless space lowtemperature heat rejection systems is considered. The possibility of an optimal combination of the thermal capacity rejected by a droplet radiative cooler and the predicted efficiency of the space power unit is substantiated. The dependences of the basic thermal characteristics on the number of droplet planes used have been derived for low- and medium-temperature radiators with an ionic-liquid-based heat carrier.
