A specifically designed solar desalinization system with a solar collector (about 2.01 m2 in area) has been developed and tested under practical weather conditions. In this system, a considerable fraction of the latent and sensible heat is successfully recycled and utilized for preheating the...

An active regenerative solar still with an area of 1.03 m2, enabling one to reuse the latent heat of condensation and sensible heat of brine, is constructed and tested indoors, using a solar simulator for irradiation. In this still, a considerable fraction of the latent and sensible heat is...
