Related QuestionsHow does such a Solar Water Heating System work?
FAQs - GEDAYour Solar Water heating System is designed to operate on thremosyphon or natural convection principle. The driving force for circulation in such a system is derived purely from the density difference between hot and cold water. No mechanical or electrical device is used to pump water through the solar collector. As the water gets heated it becomes lighter, and so tends to " automatically" rise, and in turn is displaced by the comparatively heavier cold water from the storage tank.
Related QuestionsSV Marketing (India) Pvt LtdSimple. The suns rays fall on the Collectors, which collect the rays and convert them into heat energy. The solar heat energy thus collected is used to heat the water passing through the pipes of the collector.
