Abstract

Augmenting the productivity of fresh water with minimum environmental impact is a challenging task for researchers across the globe. Solar desalination is an environment-friendly approach with minimum CO₂ emissions. Researchers have investigated the influence of different design and operating variables to enhance the distillate productivity using passive-type stepped solar stills. The stepped solar stills were similar in shape and size compared to the conventional solar still and had increased distillate output. The influence of cavity volume space, the depth of water, and the surface area of the absorber in contact with the saline water on the distillate output is discussed in this paper. Most researchers proved the fact that stepped stills had higher productivity compared to conventional stills. In this review, an attempt is made to discuss the different design and operating parameters influencing the productivity of stepped still.

改变被动式阶梯式太阳能蒸馏器蒸馏效果的内在结构特性综述

在对环境影响最小的情况下提高淡水生产力是全球研究人员面临的一项具有挑战性的任务。太阳能海水淡化是一种环境友好的方法，二氧化碳排放量最小。研究了不同设计和操作变量对被动式阶梯式太阳能蒸馏器提高蒸馏效率的影响。阶梯式太阳能蒸馏器在形状和大小上与传统的太阳能蒸馏器相似，并且增加了馏分产量。本文讨论了空腔容积、水的深度以及与盐水接触的吸收塔表面积对馏分油产量的影响。大多数研究人员证明，与传统蒸馏器相比，阶梯式蒸馏器的生产率更高。本文试图探讨不同的设计和操作参数对阶梯蒸馏器生产率的影响。
