Abstract
A new solar still system has been developed. In the system, a storage tank and two Aat-plate solar collectors are integrated with a basin ty pe solar still. The collector and the still are coupled to form a natu rally circulating closed loop. This system has been presented in terms of the design parameters of the solar still and the effectiveness of the heat exchanger. The average daily production of distilled water ha s been found to be 100% higher than for a simple basin-type solar stil l. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
