Water shortage is a worldwide problem. Water scarcity has become a crucial issue in the Middle East. Brackish water desalination appears to be the useful method to secure drinkable water in desert regions. All desalination methods are energy consuming. Solar powered desalination seems to be a promising technology for obtaining potable water in most of hot climate countries having limited resources of fresh water. Solar stills are useful devices to supply fresh water to desert areas but their productivity is very low. Solar distillation systems are classified into two groups: passive and active solar stills. Enhancing the rate of condensation in a double slope solar still is the prime goal of this work. Therefore, a cost effective solar still was constructed and operated under the climatic conditions of Tabouk University to investigate the effect of cooling the glass cover on water productivity. In comparison with the passive operation, the active mode showed a significant increase on productivity to about 9450 ml/day. The increased productivity of about 180% demonstrated the merit contribution of cooling the glass cover. |
