A solar water heater which uses a roof-contained solar absorber operating a two-phase thermosiphon with splash heat exchanger is described. Such a thermosiphon has operating characteristics which may be exploited to achieve simple and reliable freeze protection. An installation is described and the physical arrangements needed to obtain freeze protection are discussed. The results of a number of tests are presented.
