Abstract

Solar distillation is an effective way to generate fresh, potable water in areas with abundant sunlight and sufficient water unfit for human consumption or other activities. Therefore, the current work introduces vibrator technology to improve the performance of a single-slope solar still (CSS) that uses solar energy to evaporate salt water. The new still was introduced as CSS-V. The effect of the water level inside the basin was studied for a level of (1,2) cm. The results showed that lowering the water level by 50% increases productivity by 9%. The use of a vibrator was found to increase productivity by 9% to a water level of 1 cm.
