As the petroleum heats, it rises to a reservoir, from which cool petroleum then descends into the heating element by gravity. As the reservoir gets hotter, it can be used for cooking, generating steam and even refrigerating (by the absorption method). In a large ma chine, heat gathered during sunny days will last usefully through several cloudy days...
