Abstract
We have studied an active solar distillation system during peak summer days. The system is made of fibre-reinforced plastic (FRP) and is cou pled to a flat-plate collector (FPC). Performance of single and double -effect solar distillation, with and without water-flow over the glass cover, was monitored. It was found that an active solar still with wa ter flow over the glass cover gives the maximum yield. Copyright (C) 1 996 Elsevier Science Ltd.
