An experimental performance analysis of a concentrated solar distiller

Abstract

The performance of solar concentrated distiller with latent heat storage capacity is compared with distiller integrated with mini solar pond as a preheated source of water. In this paper, paraffin wax is used as the latent heat storage material. Experiments conducted to improve productivity by increasing various factors like Heat storage capacity, exposure area, maintaining low depth. Productivity of water was measured every hour between 10 A.M to 5 P.M by maintaining lower depth.
