collector loop includes the solar collectors, the fluid lines or “line-set” and a heat exchanger. The collector loop is a “closed loop”, meaning there is no contact of the heat transfer fluid with your potable water or with the atmosphere. The collector loop contains only a small volume of heat-transfer fluid which is freeze-protected.
