  • No need of a separate collector for this thermal storage system.

Famous quotes containing the word advantages:

    “If the minds of women were enlightened and improved, the domestic circle would be more frequently refreshed by intelligent conversation, a means of edification now deplorably neglected, for want of that cultivation which these intellectual advantages would confer.”
    —Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
