C. Tiris et al., EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES ON A SOLAR-STILL COUPLED WITH A FLAT-PLATE COLLECTOR AND A SINGLE BASIN STILL, Energy conversion and management, 39(8), 1998, pp. 853-856
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
