Results of experimental investigation of the heat exchange 
in a plasma module which incorporates a mixing chamber and three plasmatrons 
operating on it are generalized by the methods of physical modeling 
with the use of regression analysis. It is shown that the heat exchange 
in such a system is determined by the processes occurring in arc heaters. 
The most substantial influence is exerted by convection and radiation.
