Abstract
A self-pumping solar liquid heating system which includes two solar collectors, a high temperature collector for generating vapor which expands and pumps fluid through the system, and a separate collector for collection of heat of utilization. A heat pipe transfers the heat from the high temperature collector to a vapor generator pump which moves the liquid in series through the second collector, a heat load and a liquid reservoir. Mechanical temperature controls are used to regulate the temperature of the heat load so no electrical power is required for the system.
