These collections include models for solar thermal collectors (flat plate, vacuum tube and uncovered), heat pumps (air-source, ground source / brine source), ground heat exchange (vertical boreholes as well as horizontal collectors) and heat storage (sensible and latent).
In the 1830s, the British astronomer John Herschel used a solar thermal collector box (a device that absorbs sunlight to collect heat) to cook food during an expedition to Africa.
