With the disappearance of stored hot water in favour of the combi boiler, from the 1980s onwards, the thermosiphon disappeared from British plumbing.

Early cars, motor vehicles and engine-powered farm & industrial equipment used thermosiphon circulation to move cooling water between their cylinder block and radiator.
23.
They depended on forward movement of the car and fans to move enough air through the radiator to provide the temperature differential that caused the thermosiphon circulation.

It also uses the thermosiphon effect to distribute the warmed air through channels incorporated into the reinforced concrete floors, warming the floors and hence the building.
25.
In a tandem seal [ face-to-back ], the seal will leak into the buffer fluid contained in the unpressurized cavity commonly known as thermosiphon pot.
26.
At least one designer uses a passive thermosiphon carrying only air, so the process can be accomplished without expensive, unreliable machinery . ( See also Annualized geo solar)
27.
To improve the performance, either more fluid is needed ( possibly in a larger thermosiphon ), or all other fluids ( including air ) should be pumped out of the loop.
28.
When phase change occurs in a thermosiphon, it means that the system either does not have enough fluid, or it is too small to transfer all of the heat by convection alone.
29.
Sound levels in the station are unavoidably high; because the atmosphere is unable to thermosiphon, fans are required at all times to allow processing of the atmosphere which would stagnate in the freefall ( zero-g ) environment.
