Full Description

The transfer of heat from solar collectors to water is often accomplished by circulating liquids such as water, glycol solutions, hydrocarbon oils, silicone liquids, etc. The use of vaporizing/condensing fluids in this application has not received much attention; although such systems are commercially available, and a number of successful installations have been made.
