Experimental investigation on single basin tilted wick solar still integrated with flat plate collector

A novel solar desalination system based on an evacuated tube collective condenser heat pipe solar collector: A thermo-economic and environmental analysis

“…The overall cumulative efficiency of the tilted wick basin at 30 °with a flat plate collector was achieved at 22.1%. They also found that a tilted wick basin at 30 °gives maximum yield compared to the conventional still (Negi et al, 2022).…”

Performance Evaluation of Single Slope Tilted Wick Solar Still with Varying Salt Concentrations

“…Moreover, solar still has several advantages such as simple design, cost economical, low maintenance, environment friendly, and so on, but it has some disadvantages also, like low productivity and high cost of modification [4]. [4], introducing heat exchangers [5 -7], collector [8], wick [9 -14], reflectors [15], sprinkler [16 -18] or adding various nanoparticles [19][20][21][22]. Moreover, Agarwal et al [23] experimented on conventional solar still (CSS) by integrating multiple V-shaped floating wick.…”

Enhancement of Conventional Solar Still Productivity by Modifying with The Tilted Wick at Different Angles and Black Painted Basin: An experimental & Economic Approach

“…Many researchers have contributed to enhancing solar still performance by the modifying design of the stills, varying the depth of basin water, , Tarawneh et al 2007, introducing external attachments like flat plate collector (Negi et al 2021, Subramanian et al 2020, Madiouli et al 2019, evacuated collector, different types of wick materials, the inclination of wicks (Fayaz et al 2022), using heat storage mediums and by introducing Nanoparticles (Negi et al 2020) to increase the productivity of the solar stills.…”
