Pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) process and its significance for thermosyphon technology is discussed. In previous work the possibility to drive a thermosyphon by difference of densities from induced salinity gradients from evaporation at solar collectors with downward heat transfer was assessed. Nevertheless it was concluded that large evaporative areas or dilution with volatile compounds was mandatory...
The basis of a novel method for passive solar water heating homologous to the thermosiphon but driven by induced salinity, which causes a fluid to circulate without the need for a mechanical pump and with inverse natural convection (downward heat transfer), is outlined. The brinesiphon, like the thermosiphon, operates by harnessing the tendency of a less dense fluid to rise above a denser fluid, resulting...
