Thermosiphoning is a passive heat exchange method that circulates a fluid without the necessity of a mechanical pump. Thermosiphoning is used for circulation of liquids and volatile gases in heating and cooling applications such as heat pumps, water heaters, boilers and furnaces.

The thermosiphoning system works by using the natural convection principle: hot water rises, cold water sinks. As the potable water (or the antifreeze fluid, in colder climates) enters the solar panel, it warms and rises to the top of the tank, where it is stored.

How Thermosyphon Systems Work
Typical thermosyphon heaters do not have pumps or controls; they are based on the natural convection principle: hot water rises, cold water sinks. As the potable water (or the antifreeze fluid, in colder climates) enters the solar panel, it warms and rises to the top of the tank, where it is stored (that’s the reason why thermosyphon cylinders are located above the collector).
