Halpern, B J

A prototype thermosyphoning collector was built and installed in the windows of a house in Pittsburgh. Testing of the collectors revealed an efficiency of 35% and a payback period of 10 years. The prototype was redesigned and tested under a DOE grant. The final design of the collector is presented, but only a small amount of data was taken to begin the evaluation of the units. The use of thermal shutters is also included. (BCS)
