The pool flow also goes via the heat exchanger but does not mix with the solar circuit (like an indirectly heated hot water tank). In this configuration the input and output temperatures of the pool water are not the issue. It is the input temperature of the flow from the solar panels to the heat exchanger.
Air flows through a ground-coupled heat exchanger and decreases its temperature. The cooled air soothes the solar panels while passing beneath them. The researchers installed nine solar panels of 100 W each. The air is flown by a single blower and the cold air is distributed to each solar panel through the pipe.

A solar heat exchanger is a device designed specifically to do this task in a solar thermal system. Cold water - a heat transfer fluid - enters the solar collector, and solar radiation hits the collectors' surface area, heating the water flowing through them.
In solar energy systems, the heat exchanger transfers the heat captured through solar radiation to another working fluid. Solar thermal energy can be used both to supply thermal energy in a heating system and solar thermal power plants. Other examples of standard heat exchangers are the car radiator and the heater for domestic heating.
Solar heating systems with air-heating solar collectors usually do not need a heat exchanger between the solar collector and the air distribution system. Those systems with air heater collectors that heat water use air-to-liquid heat exchangers, which are similar to liquid-to-air heat exchangers.
Heat exchangers can be made of steel, copper, bronze, stainless steel, aluminum, or cast iron. Solar heating systems usually use copper, because it is a good thermal conductor and has greater resistance to corrosion. Stainless steel is also common in “compact” heat exchangers. Solar water heating systems use three types of heat exchangers:
Typically, solar panels work by transferring heat from the collector to the tank through a separate circuit and a heat exchanger. Heat collected by the panel heats up water (or oil or another fluid) that flows through a circuit of pipes into a copper coil inside your hot-water tank.
Heat-transfer fluids, such as propylene glycol antifreeze, protect the solar collector from freezing in cold weather. Liquid-to-liquid heat exchangers have either one or two barriers (single wall or double wall) between the heat-transfer fluid and the domestic water supply.
