Abstract

Device for exchanging energy of the drain-back type, comprising a collector (1) with an outlet (12) and an inlet (11), the outlet (12) being connected by means of a first conduit (4) to a drain-back tank (2) and the inlet (11) being connected by means of a second conduit (5) to the drain-back tank (2), wherein collector (1), drain-back tank (2), first conduit (4) and second conduit (5) form a fluid circuit, and wherein a pump (3) with control is further arranged in one of the conduits, wherein the control is adapted to cause continuous as well as pulsed pumping of the pump (3).
