  2. Solar thermal collector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_thermal_collector

    In climates where freezing is likely, a heat transfer fluid similar to an automotive antifreeze solution may be used instead of water, or in a mixture with water. If a heat transfer fluid is used, a heat exchanger is typically employed to transfer heat from the solar collector fluid to a hot water storage tank. The most common absorber design ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_energy_storage

    [38] [39] For example, air conditioning can be provided more economically by using low-cost electricity at night to freeze water into ice, then using the cooling capacity of ice in the afternoon to reduce the electricity needed to handle air conditioning demands. Thermal energy storage using ice makes use of the large heat of fusion of water ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiative_cooling

    The roof uses water, either plastic bags filled with water or an open pond, as the heat sink while a system of movable insulation panels regulate the mode of heating or cooling. During daytime in the summer, the water on the roof is protected from the solar radiation and ambient air temperature by movable insulation, which allows it to serve as ...

    T-s diagram for the ideal/real ORC. The working principle of the organic Rankine cycle is the same as that of the Rankine cycle: the working fluid is pumped to a boiler where it is evaporated, passed through an expansion device (turbine, [3] screw, [4] scroll, [5] or other expander), and then through a condenser heat exchanger where it is finally re-condensed.

    More than 4 million people woke up without power in Texas amid record low temperatures.

  7. Solar water heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_water_heating

    Indirect or closed loop systems use a heat exchanger to transfer heat from the "heat-transfer fluid" (HTF) fluid to the potable water. The most common HTF is an antifreeze/water mix that typically uses non-toxic propylene glycol. After heating in the panels, the HTF travels to the heat exchanger, where its heat is transferred to the potable water.

  8. How to Fix Your Frozen Pipes, According to Experts - AOL

    When temperatures drop below 55 degrees, there's a risk of freezing. And if the water does freeze, your pipes could crack, warp, or even burst as the water stretches and then ultimately thaws ...

  9. Solar thermal energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_thermal_energy

    The collector fluid is circulated through the carrier pipes to the heat transfer vault. Inside the vault, heat is transferred throughout the medium through convection. Heat storage enables solar thermal plants to produce electricity during hours without sunlight. Heat is transferred to a thermal storage medium in an insulated reservoir during ...
