How does solar thermal energy work ? • Newheat

A solar thermal collector is a sort of heat exchanger that absorbs solar radiation which it transforms into thermal energy, it is then transferred to a heat carrier liquid circulating in the collector. The liquids used can be air, water, oil or a mixture of water and propylene glycol (a biodegradable antifreeze liquid traditionally used as a food additive). Phase change materials …
