WHAT DOES THERMOSIPHON MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Thermosiphon

Thermosiphon is a property of physics and refers to a method of passive heat exchange based on natural convection, which circulates a substance without the necessity of a mechanical pump. Thermosiphoning is used for circulation of liquids and volatile gases in heating and cooling applications, such as heat pumps, water heaters, boilers and furnaces. Thermosiphoning also occurs across air temperature gradients such as those utilized in a wood fire chimney, or solar chimney. This circulation can either be open-loop, as when the substance in a holding tank is passed in one direction via a heated transfer tube mounted at the bottom of the tank to a distribution point - even one mounted above the originating tank - or it can be a vertical closed-loop circuit with return to the original container. Its purpose is to simplify the transfer of liquid or gas while avoiding the cost and complexity of a conventional pump.

Definition of thermosiphon in the English dictionary

The definition of thermosiphon in the dictionary is a system in which a coolant is circulated by convection caused by a difference in density between the hot and cold portions of the liquid.
