Abstract

In this study, a parabolic dish solar collector with a diameter of 1.4 m is considered for the solar desalination experimental setup. An anodized aluminium basin with a thickness of 1mm has been used as the absorber. Basin temperature, glass cover temperature, solar radiation intensity, freshwater yield, and thermal efficiency were experimentally measured. Thermal efficiency was calculated using the energy balance equations for the absorbed solar radiation and latent heat of vaporization. The experimental result shows that the evaporation rate of saline water is enhanced by the use of the aluminium basin. Also, the wind blowing over the glass cover increases the condensation rate between the basin water and the glass cover surface. As the solar radiation intensity increases its thermal efficiency and overall productivity of fresh water increase. It results in a maximum thermal efficiency of 22.0954% and freshwater productivity of 0.44 kg/h. This experimental result shows the effectiveness of the solar desalination system for the small-scale application.
