The present invention relates to a medium in the form of an aqueous mixture for improving the heat transfer coefficient and use thereof in power plant technology, in particular in steam generating plants. The medium contains at least one film-forming amine (component a) with the general formula: R- (NH- (CH2)m)n-NH2/, where R is an aliphatic hydrocarbon radical with a chain length between 12 and 22 and m is an integral number between 1 and 8 and n is an integral number between 0 and 7, contained in amounts up to 15%.
