Domestic Solar Water Desalination System

Solar thermal system consists of manual tracking parabolic concentrator, a black receiver and main receiver which is a finned system used for condensation. Brackish water is kept in a black receiver which is located at the focal point of parabolic concentrator. Because of high temperature at the focal point, steam is generated in the black receiver, which is then condensed in main receiver and drips into a storage container in the form of pure water, without electricity.
