本研究的目的是提高蒸馏水的生产，采用传统的单斜面太阳能蒸馏器与连续海水输入。三个太阳能电池，设计并实验检验了平板吸收器、具有10个翅片的吸收器和具有15个翅片的吸收器。海水在重力的作用下，源源不断的进入蒸馏器。此外，蒸馏器内的海水水位通过使用浮球阀保持恒定。每台蒸馏器的总尺寸定为1136 mm × 936 mm × 574 mm，并对蒸馏器的性能进行了分析和讨论。平板吸收器、10片吸收器和15片吸收器的平均产率分别为1.185 L/d、1.264 L/d和1.404 L/d。15片翅片的吸收器的结果比平板吸收器的结果高约18.5%。实验结果与建立的关联式进行了比较。这种具有增加的产水量的新设计为在偏远的热带地区收集太阳光进行小规模太阳能脱盐提供了一种有效的方法。
This study aimed to enhance distilled water production by employing conventional single-slope solar distillers with continuous seawater input. Three solar absorbers—i.e., a flat absorber, an absorber with 10 fins, and an absorber with 15 fins—were designed and examined experimentally. The seawater entered the distillers continuously due to gravity. Moreover, the seawater level inside the distillers was kept constant by using a floating ball valve. The overall size of each distiller was fixed at 1136 mm × 936 mm × 574 mm. The performance of the distillers was analyzed and discussed. The average yields of the flat absorber, the absorber with 10 fins, and the absorber with 15 fins were 1.185 L/d, 1.264 L/d, and 1.404 L/d, respectively. The results of the absorber with 15 fins were about 18.5% higher than those of the flat absorber. The experimental results were compared with the established correlations. This new design with increased water yield provides an effective approach for harvesting sunlight in remote tropical regions for small-scale solar desalination.
