“…On the other hand, when water cooling is used, our system produces 16% more than the system proposed by Alqathami et al 24 but less than the other systems. This difference can be explained by the season of test.…”

This study investigates the impact of cooling methods on the performance of a basin solar still integrated with a condensation chamber wall. Two different cooling techniques of the condensation chamber, namely water cooling and radiative cooling, were tested in Algerian climatic conditions. The findings revealed that the type of cooling system significantly affects the temperature of different components of the solar still. Moreover, the output of Peltier‐cooled still was better on the basin side, while the water‐cooled still was better on the condensation chamber side. The solar stills equipped with Peltier and water cooling produced 2.95 and 2.44 kg/m2 day, respectively. Additionally, the use of radiative cooling increased the solar still production by 43% compared to water cooling. The cost analysis indicated that the radiative‐cooled solar still is more cost‐effective with a cost of $0.09237 per liter of freshwater produced, compared to $0.29320 per liter produced by the water‐cooled still over the 15‐year system lifespan.

This study experimentally investigates the integration of a flat plate solar collector and a condensation chamber into a basin solar still. Three prototypes were designed and constructed for evaluation: a basin solar still coupled to both a solar collector and a condensation chamber, a basin coupled with a solar collector, and a simple basin solar still as a reference. The experiments, conducted from July 24 to 28, 2016, at the UDES site in Bouismail, Algeria, used seawater from the Fouka region. Solar radiation emerged as the primary influencer on the solar desalination system, with active solar stills, particularly those equipped with a flat plate collector, showing significant temperature increases. Daily cumulative production analysis revealed the condensation chamber as a significant contributor, representing 58% of total production. Incorporating a flat plate collector resulted in a 110% increase in daily production compared to the conventional solar still. Simultaneously incorporating both the flat plate collector and the condensation chamber showcased an impressive 176% increase in daily production. Daily production quantified at 5.9 kg/m2 for the active with a condensation chamber, 4.5 kg/m2 for the active solar still, and 2.1 kg/m2 for the simple solar still. Economic analysis indicated that the active solar still with the condensation chamber enables more cost‐effective freshwater production than the active solar still alone. Water analyses demonstrated the efficiency of solar distillation, converting high‐salinity saltwater (31.4%) into exceptionally pure distillate (0.00%).
