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

Famous quotes containing the word advantages:

    “When the manipulations of childhood are a little larceny, they may grow and change with the child into qualities useful and admire in the grown-up world. When they are the futile struggle for love and concern and protection, they may become the warped and ruthless machinations of adults who seek in the advantages of power what they could never win as children.”
    —Leontine Young (20th century)
