Description
The performance of a single basin solar still containing vertical water absorbing textile walls within the basin has been investigated. The textile absorbs water from the basin and evaporates it because of the absorbed solar energy. Two experimental sets (one without textile walls and another with textile walls) were conducted in this study. The productivity and thermal efficiency of the still in both cases were analyzed. It is observed that the average daily yield of distilled water is 10% higher when textile walls are used whereas the average thermal efficiency is 1.6 % higher. The quality of the distilled water was verified through water quality tests, which confirmed its suitability for the domestic use.(author)
