“…To find the effect of inclination angle in a multiple-effect solar still, Tanaka (2002) performed an experimental study on a single-basin type multiple-effect diffusion-coupled 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 12 solar still with the reflector at the bottom, and found that the distillate yield was 13% greater than that of a conventional type solar still [97,98]. The best inclination angle was reported to be 23° for a multi-effect still situated in Muscat, Oman (latitude angle 23.61°) [99].…”

Due to the greater growth of population and industrial developments especially from the early 20th century, people living in remote villages suffer with shortage of drinking water. People living in urban and rural areas depend on surface and ground water sources, where these sources are majorly polluted by industrial waste. The use of reverse osmosis technique and other conventional technique appears to be a costlier method and requires a very large land mass. An economical method of converting the saline water to portable water is by using solar energy. Solar still desalination is one method of converting saline water into potable water by evaporation and condensation. Many researchers carried out extensive studies on the solar still desalination technique and this paper communicates a detailed review about the existing desalination technique by solar energy.Key words: Solar still, economic, water source, energy, developments INTRODUCTIONEarth is almost covered with water of which 97% salt water, 2% trapped in the form of glaciers and polar ice caps and only 1% of water for drinking purpose for our survival. Plants, animals and human being need water to avoid dehydration, since dehydration kills faster than starvation. Consumption of unhygienic water cause health problems and even death and for a small scale production of fresh water in urban and rural areas solar desalination is the best method (Kumar et al., 2015;Arunkumar et al., 2015). As ground and surface water sources are depleting by continuous usage the need of drinking water is more. Figure 1 shows the major water sources of the world.There is a great need of fresh water for humans, as they are the important phenomenon in dayto-day life. Due to urbanization, industrialization and increase in population growth the need of drinking water is higher. The possible ways of getting pure water is from rivers, lakes, wells, rains etc, as these kinds must be purified consuming. The purification of water involves the removal of dissolved or microbes which can easily spread water borne diseases. The insoluble substances are removed by sand filtration and the microbes are killed through chlorination and by boiling. Solar desalination does all the three function. The another method of conversion of backrish water into purified water for drinking purpose is using membrane or phase change process of desalination. Earlier these process uses boiler to generate power or heat to drive the membrane process to get fresh water. In the current context, solar energy is used to drive these techniques using solar photo

“…Tiwari et al [1] reported that the solar still output can be increased by decreasing the temperature of the glass cover through flowing water over the glass cover. AlHinai et al [2] also reported that the condensate output of a double-effect solar still is twice that of a single-effect solar still, when water is passed between the double glass layers and therefore dropping its temperature. Other researchers such as Nawayseh et al [3] focused on the reclamation of the condensing energy by transferring the latent heat of condensation to the feed saline water before it enters the solar still.…”

A study of solar desalination still combined with air-conditioning system is presented in this work. Combining the solar still with the air-conditioning system can increase the condensate output from the solar still while meeting the cooling load needs. The operation of the combined solar distillation and air-conditioning system, that utilized the heat rejected by the condenser and the heat sink of the evaporator, has been tested to obtain the distillate output from the solar still during the air-conditioning of a space application. Experimental work of the present system is carried out in June 2009 (summer month), in Cairo, Egypt. The present problem is tested to use the integrated system operation for already utilizing air-conditioning energy consumption; that is, meeting the hourly air-conditioning load and the daily fresh water production. The system is tested for day and nighttimes of operation of the combined system for the summer month: June 2009, Cairo, Egypt. Economic study evaluation is presented. The results show that the maximum fresh water productivity through June is 29 Liters in daytime of June 5 2009 and 37 liters in nighttime (nocturnal time) of June 3 2009. The present system more efficient in day time (8:00 AM-8:00 PM) and night time (8:00 PM-8:00 AM). Therefore, the maximum efficiency is recorded 40% for the present system in daytime, 36% in nighttime, and 25% for conventional solar still. COP increases with inside temperature (T i ), however it decreases with outside temperature (T amb ). The average cost of one liter of distillate water from the present combined system = 0.021441 (LE).
