A Review to Increase Productive Output of An Active Solar Distillation System

Abstract

Solar still is one of the best solutions to solve water problem in remote arid areas. One of the methods to increase the productivity is by decrease the volumetric heat capacity of the basin. Solar distillation is one of many processes that can be used for water purification. Solar radiation can be the source of heat energy where brackish or sea water is evaporated and is then condensed as pure water. So many works can be done on the active and passive solar still. F rom this review found that if we make the still double basin and two stages the overall efficiency of the active solar still will increase.
