A passive thermosyphon heat exchanger for residential solar installationsThe paper details the development of a thermosyphon water-to-air heat exchanger for residential solar applications. Modeling techniques used in the analysis of thermosyphon performance are included, as well as test results from laboratory-scale experiments. In addition, a description of the initial full-scale prototype is presented, along with experimental test results. Present areas of development are discussed, with an economic comparison of thermosyphon and forced convection heating systems also being included.
