摘要：

The performance of a traditional solar still system can be improved by modifying the desalination processes involved. In this work, a simple experimental model of a one-sided solar stiller is build and tested. The solar still system is modified with a solar cooling fan and a preheating solar collector. The fan is used to increase the cooling rate of external surfaces of the glass cover to increase the condensation rate of vapors and thus increase the amount of distilled water. The fan is powered by a small PVC (photovoltaic cell). In addition, the preheating solar collector uses the hydraulic oil as the working fluid for indirect heating of the feed sea water within the still device. A series of measurements consist of basin and ambient temperatures and rate of production of distillate are carried out in the winter in the State of Kuwait during November 2015 and then the results are analyzed and compared with some previously published data. It is observed that the improved solar still system produces 3%, 10%, and 50% more distillate than the basic solar still system by applying a cooling fan, oil preheating, and both cooling fan and oil preheating systems, respectively. ©, Copyright Association of Energy Engineers (AEE).
