Thermosiphon water heaters with heat exchangers

OSTI ID:5320724
An analytical Detailed Loop Model (DLM) has been developed to analyze the performance of solar thermosiphon water heaters with heat exchangers in storage tanks. The model has been used to study performance of thermosiphons as a function of heat exchanger characteristics, heat transfer fluids, flow resistances, tank stratification, and tank elevation relative to the collector. The results indicate that reasonable performance can be attained with these systems compared to thermosiphons without heat exchangers.
