Type Main Features Advantages Disadvantages
Batch System Batch tank inside collector box, potable water within collector tank
No external power, few components, collector tank at any location
Seasonal, dependent on freezing locations, heat loss at night from storage
Thermosiphon System Flat plate liquid collectors, open loop, no pump or external power, storage tank higher than collector
No external power, few components, High performance
Seasonal, dependent on freezing locations (if water is collector fluid), needs structural support for high storage tank
Closed loop freeze resistant system
Flat plate liquid collectors, closed loop piping from collectors to storage tanks, external energy (circulator and differential controller, non freezing collector fluid, pressurised stone lined storage tank
No freezing damage, no mech or elect parts, no liquid service
Temporarily stops operation at sub-zero temp as solution freezes to a slush
Drain back system Flat plate liquid (water) collectors, open loop, Potable water circulates through heat exchanger in storage tanks (not through collectors)
Can be used in the coldest climates, no antifreeze used, simplest active flat plate system (no valves)
Larger pump, larger consumption of energy, system must drain thoroughly, use of corrosion inhibitor recommended

![Page 30: Topic 2 Water Supply and Storage](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022013001/61ca3b1c36a8d93bd4347037/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Type Main Features Advantages Disadvantages
Drain down system Flat plate liquid collectors, potable water circulated through collectors, line pressure feeds collectors, open loop, automatic drainage valves, pitched headers
No heat exchanger or extra storage tank needed, High performance
In some instances a larger pump, larger consumption of external energy, system must drain throughly, no corrosion inhibitor possible, freeze danger with valve failure
Air to Liquid system Flat plate air collectors, air to water heat exchanger, ductwork and blower, pipes and circulator, Larger collector area than liquid systems.
Won’t freeze, (depemdent on exchange location), air leaks won’t cause damage, integrates well with space heating
Hard to detect leaks, more space required fo ducts, blower and circulator required, more carpentry, less effective
Phase change system Flat plate liquid collectors, storage tanks higher than collectors (passive type), closed looprefrigerent-grade piping from collectors to storage tanks (passive type) or to condenser (subambient type),
No external power (passive type), can be mounted at any position
Very hard to detect leaks, special equipment to install, more equipment required (subambient type)
