Abstract

In the improved supply circuit, provision is made for a "start-up" storage tank placed at a higher level than the heat exchanger and connected to a secondary circuit in portion of this latter which is located between the solar engine and the feed pump and includes the evaporator. The storage tank is equipped with heating means for bringing the fluid contained therein to a temperature which is lower than the temperature of the fluid within the evaporator.
