This paper evaluates a one-stage technique to improve fresh water production from salty water by enhancing the evaporation and condensation. A pilot plant is designed and constructed in an arid area with 1 m2 solar water collector area to evaluate the one-stage process. The effect of main...

The enhancement of the productivity of the solar desalination system, in a certain location, could be attained by a proper modification in the system design. Therefore, different design configurations could be found in literatures. However, the increase in the system productivity with high...
