“…The parabolic dish CPVT systems were applied for solar desalination. Ong et al [216] developed a multi-effect membrane distillation (MEMD) system for isolated islands or coastal regions. Based on the cooling systems developed by IBM Research Zurich [186], the PV-receiver heat recovery at 75-80°C was achieved for thermal energy storage and desalination with the membrane distillation (MD) technique.…”

“…6 Heat-driven sorption cooling, converting low-temperature heat (90-120 • C) into cold (10 • C), can help to address this need. Heat from HCPVT systems can also be employed for desalination using, for example, vacuum multi-effect membrane distillation, 7 and HCPVT will help ensure power grid stability, even in transmission networks that contain many solar power plants with unpredictable output.…”

“…A promising alternative approach is solar-driven seawater desalination, whereby heat generated from the solar irradiance is used to evaporate water, which minimizes the need for fossil fuels and electric power. However, traditional solar-driven water desalination systems exhibit low efficiencies (typically 34 -40% for a single basin solar still [3]) due to large heat losses to the bulk water reservoir.…”

This paper reports a numerical analysis of solardriven seawater desalination systems with two configurations: a floating photo-thermal film at the air-water interface with and without an insulation layer located beneath its surface. Heat transfer processes from the film including conduction, convection and radiation have been evaluated at different film temperatures to determine the relative contributions of different heat loss mechanisms from the film. Convective heat transferred to the bulk seawater is found to be the dominant heat loss path, and can be reduced from 6.95 ×10 7 J/m 2 •h to 8.77 × 10 5 J/m 2 •h, a difference of almost two orders of magnitude, by inserting an insulation layer beneath the photo-thermal film. Thus, the addition of an insulating layer is suggested as an important design component to effectively minimize heat losses in air-water interfacial solar heating systems.
