Access to clean water is being limited throughout the globe day by day. Several illnesses are caused by water supplies that are contaminated or not distilled. Immediately people's necessity is to purify water without impacting the environment. Solar distillation is an extremely clean distillation in a water treatment procedure. Solar still is among the methods for water purification that produce potable water. Several atmospheric and operational factors require the still lay-out to be augmented. As is commonly known, the vertical sides of the SS become hotter as solar radiation hits them, and the high temperature area resulted in considerable energy losses to the surroundings. To increase the profitability of solar stills, researchers have investigated a variety of models. Throughout its experiments, the solar still with rotating components has been regarded as a reliable and efficient system. Throughout this comprehensive review, we presented, clarified, and analyzed the status of various techniques used to reduce losses of back wall of solar stills solar distillers, for instance rotating wick, vertical wick, drum, trays, discs... etc. Diverse outcomes (highest daily output & improvement) demonstrated the significance of rotating parts, including vertical wick distiller (7.2 L/m 2 /d & 154%), moving wick solar still (9.17 L/m 2 /d & 315%), drum distiller (9.22 L/m 2 /d & 350%), and vertical disc distiller (16.5 L/m 2 /d & 617.4%).","PeriodicalId":433665,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Contemporary Technology and Applied Engineering","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130875982","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Solar still (SS) are systems powered by solar energy that can provide drinkable water, however it has a low production issue. A solar distiller's production is influenced by a variety of factors. The water depth and thermal storage beds are the most influential factors. During rainy or cloudy days (sunlight is not available) a SS cannot work in its original state. During daylight hours, the SS can be powered utilizing energy saved in thermal storage materials. This paper aims to increasing water production from brackish water or seawater using renewable energies via a system of solar desalination. An experimental work for sand beds trays solar still (TSS) was performed to enhance performance of TSS, the yellow sand used as thermal storage materials. The effects of sandy bed height (1, 2 and 3 cm) and reflectors on the TSS performance were studied. Results revealed that the sandy layer (heat storage beds) improves the TSS productivity. The maximum increase in accumulated production of sandy TSS with internal and external reflectors was reached at sand beds height of 1 cm. In this case the daily production of TSS was improved by 112% over CSS.","PeriodicalId":433665,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Contemporary Technology and Applied Engineering","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127500716","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
