“…Jayathunga et al [9] could achieve 50% reduction in cost by employing low cost liner material (polyethylene) for the rectangular pond. Besides low cost fresh water production, 60% reduction in land use is reported by Yan et al [10] when the salt concentration was low in the smaller size rectangular pond. Recently, Wang et al [11] observed that a selective transparent cover could increase the temperature of the rectangular pond which resulted in improved efficiency.…”

Design of economical and effective solar ponds which are useful thermal energy storage devices, remains a huge challenge. The present work aims at investigating the thermal performance of low cost mini salt gradient solar pond. The portable pond was fabricated as a rectangular configuration having a volume of 0.5m3. Polystyrene and high density polyethylene sheets were employed for insulating the walls. The top of the pond was covered with a slender glass so that the dust accumulation could be prevented without affecting the absorption of solar radiation. Sodium chloride salt was used as the medium and the three salt gradient regions namely lower convective, non-convective, and upper convective regions were established through injection filling technique. The temperature and salt gradient data were observed experimentally for a period of 20 days at Coimbatore, India. The pond could absorb significant amount of available radiation (around 65%) and the maximum temperature of the pond was observed to be 49oC. Frequent washing of the water surface is necessary to maintain stable salt gradient. Nevertheless, portable pond fabricated with low cost materials exhibited good potential of storing solar energy for solar thermal applications.
