OSTI ID:5778472
A solar collector comprises a tube containing an evaporable heat transport medium and having an evaporation zone and a condensation zone arranged during operation at a level higher than that of the evaporation zone. A plurality of pieces of a liquid-absorbing material is provided in the evaporation zone in a row extending in the axial direction of the tube in order to accumulate returning condensate, adjacent pieces being spaced from each other. These pieces are mounted on a shaft that maintains the same in contact with the inner surface of the tube.
