Thermosiphon solar water heater works without any engine/pump at all. It uses a natural principle hot water is lighter and goes up whereas cold water comes down which creates a natural flow between the tank and the solar collectors.
The ASSOS Solar Water Heater is equipped with a very well insulated storage tank and coated with double “direct” enamel, which is baked at 850°C, which makes it possible to store hot water during several days. The back-up electric heater installed in the tank will
make sure that there is enough hot water in the Tank and its temperature is maintained by back-up electric heater that is controlled by a Thermostat set point. The ASSOS Solar Water Heater works without any engine/pump at all. It uses the Thermosiphon natural principle: hot water is lighter and goes up whereas cold water goes down, which creates a natural flow between the tank and the solar collectors
