Solar Water Heaters – An introduction

Soosai, , , 0 comment

Solar Water Heaters as the name suggests are used to heat water through solar energy. The solar water heater taps the sun’s heat and uses it to heat the water. Working Principle Solar water heaters works on the principle of thermosiphon. Cold water usually have higher density and stays at the bottom of any container. When the water is heated, the temperature rises and the density becomes lesser. As the density becomes lesser, the hot water moves to the top of the container. This is the principle of thermosiphon. The…
