There are no collectors and storage tanks with this system. A pond is filled with a dense saline solution. Due to the density of the solution on the bottom of the pond there is a resistance to the convection process which would cause mixing. The result is a very hot layer of water on the bottom which is pumped through a heat exchanger. This was developed by Ormat Turbines.
