Thermosyphon circulation in a simple solar water heater (not a working model; there is no water supply to replenish the tank when the tap is used). A thermosiphon (or thermosyphon) is a device that employs a method of passive heat exchange based on natural convection, which circulates a fluid without the necessity of a mechanical pump.
Thermosyphon cooling system of 1937, without circulating pump . Radiators first used downward vertical flow, driven solely by a thermosyphon effect. Coolant is heated in the engine, becomes less dense, and so rises. As the radiator cools the fluid, the coolant becomes denser and falls.
Overview of the thermosyphon cooling system of the Ford Model T engine. [7] The T engine's cooling system reflected the T's simplicity design theme. The first few hundred Model Ts had a water pump, but it was eliminated early in production. Instead, Ford opted for a cheaper and more reliable thermosyphon system. Thermosyphon was a common engine ...
Thermosyphon reboilers (Image 2) do not require pumping of the column bottoms liquid into the reboiler. Natural circulation is obtained by using the density difference between the reboiler inlet column bottoms liquid and the reboiler outlet liquid-vapor mixture to provide sufficient liquid head to deliver the tower bottoms into the reboiler.
I've removed the two solar diagrams, as misleadingly inaccurate (see their Commons pages). If I can work out what the first one is supposed to represent, then I'll probably remove it too. I'm assuming it's a domestic heating system. These don't work by thermosyphon, for two reasons: Firstly the flow resistance is too high.
Importantly, babies do not need hot rooms at night - a room temperature of between 16-20C (61-68F) is ideal.Overheating is one of the potential causes of sudden infant death syndrome.. A sleepsuit ...

Large engines would use thermosyphon cooling. The hopper on the engine would be supplemented by a large drum of water above the engine. This would give some circulation between the two, but as there was no large surface area for heat transfer to the air, as with a radiator, the eventual cooling would still largely be by evaporation.
