80 Gallon Thermosyphon Solar Hot Water System: Silicon Solar offers pre-packaged solar hot water heating systems for both the do-it-yourself customer and the professional installer. Each system includes the primary components required when installing a solar hot water heating system.
Actual Test Data:
Temperature Loss (night): <1.5>
Operational Basics :
Through natural convection hot water rises and cold water sinks. This principal explains the basic operation of a Thermosyphon System. Cold water sinks from the storage tank (header) into the evacuated tubes. While in the tubes, the cold water is heated. As the water heats it rises back up into the header. Throughout the day, all of the cold water within the Thermpsyphon System will be heated in this way.
