The outlet of the collectors is connected to the inlet thereof by means of a line in which are mounted the primary part of a heat exchanger condenser, a vacuum pump, a venting cylinder, and a flow-control device. A distributing device feeds water with a pressure drop and a small flow rate from the line into each collector. The flow rate is such that water in liquid form does not fill completely the collectors and vaporizes at least for the most part before leaving the collectors. The heat exchanger comprises a secondary part which is part of a hot water line which runs in closed circuit and wherein are mounted a circulating pump and a storage tank.
