“…This can be achieved by storing part of the incident energy in sensible or latent heat storage materials. In this context, Mevada et al [14] added different sensible heat storage materials to the basin of a single-slope still. The study showed an increase of 76% in the daily distillate yield of the still.…”

Despite their low distillate yield, single-slope basin solar stills incorporate a simple and cheap technique to secure potable water in arid and rural areas away from fresh water resources and the power grid. Nevertheless, recovering a portion of the inevitable thermal losses from the still will significantly contribute to enhancing its daily distillate productivity and thermal performance. In this manuscript, the latent heat of condensation in single-slope basin solar still was partially recovered and utilized as the thermal energy source for an auxiliary humidification–dehumidification (HDH) distillation cycle. The thermal performance of the resultant SS-HDH distiller was experimentally tested side by side with a separate single-slope basin still of the same basin area. The results showed an increase of about 2 L/m2 in the daily distillate production of the SS-HDH distiller over that of the conventional single-slope basin still. In addition, the thermal efficiency of the SS-HDH distiller was 57% greater than that of the conventional single-slope basin still.

“…The heat in the basin decreased from morning at high temperatures due to its storage in bitumen, The temperature between the basin and the glass may weigh up to saturation and the evaporation stops. Until the glass temperature drops after water, the bitumen appears to release heat to the basin and warms more than the glass to increase evaporation in the afternoon, increasing heat and increasing distillation speed and conforming to [16,17]. Also examined, the relationship between time and difference in water temperature and glass.…”

The potable water declined after the global climate crisis. Due to global warming. River levels have also decreased. Moreover, so much has become dependent on the water from the wells. Which are often salty. Purifying this water often requires many fossil fuels that cause damage to the environment. Therefore, the researchers turned to renewable energy sources, including solar energy. In this paper, we designed and made a solar distiller, a single sink with a double slope. It is used to desalinate water and remove salt from water using solar energy. This technique is the best solution for obtaining water in remote and desert areas where potable water is not available. The purpose of the research is to study variables that promote increased efficiency. Study the use of phase change materials (PCM) to enhance the productivity of solar distillers. Bitumen was used to store solar thermal energy in latent heat. It has increased efficiency by (15–25%). For the distiller using bitumen in the basin relative to the distiller to which it is not added.

Solar desalination is a process to convert saline water into potable water by the application of solar energy. The enhancement of the distillate output of the solar desalination is low, so it is not considered as a method to produce potable water. A heat exchanger is an important device used for heat transfer applications. The present review article illustrates the application of a heat exchanger with a solar desalination system to enhance the distillate output. In the current review, it is found that the heat exchanger is an important device to improve the distillate productivity of the solar desalination system. Finally, the future work and future challenges of using a heat exchanger with a solar desalination system are presented.
