Investigation on the performance of solar still with thermoelectric cooling system for various cover material

Nursyahirah Mohd Shatar et al.

Summary: An experimental investigation was conducted to examine the impact of varying TEC cooling power on a solar still using different cover materials. It was found that the productivity of the solar still with a glass cover increased by up to 76% when using a TEC current of 4 A. The PMMA and PC covers had lower productivity compared to the reference solar still, with decreases of up to 48% and 82% respectively. The highest energy efficiency was achieved by a solar still with a glass cover, with values of 23.6%, while the PC and PMMA covers had lower energy efficiencies of 2.5% and 7.2% respectively. Economic analysis showed that the lowest cost per liter was achieved using a glass cover with TEC cooling, at $0.042.

Performance enhancement of a diffusion-type solar still: Wettability and flowability of condensation surface

Ga-Ram Lee et al.

Summary: This study evaluates the effect of contact and sliding angles of condensation surfaces on the production of solar stills. The results show that a decrease in the sliding angle and the use of superhydrophilic or superhydrophobic surfaces can increase the production rate. The sliding angle is a better indicator for material selection.

Improving condensing performance of a low-cost floating solar still by surface characteristic alteration

Alexander Fernando Lauvandy et al.

Summary: This study aims to improve the performance of floating solar still by altering the wettability and contact angle hysteresis of the cover surface. The results show that while wettability does not significantly affect transmissivity and absorber temperature, low contact angle hysteresis in the anti-fog film increases water collection. Additionally, the distilled water has a lower microbial content, making it suitable for domestic use.
