Spiral multiple-effect diffusion solar still coupled with vacuum-tube collector and heat pipe

Effects of amount and mode of input energy on the performance of a multi-stage solar still: An experimental study

“…Conventional single stage solar stills [15][16][17] utilize the system's energy input only once. However, multi-stage systems [18][19][20][21][22] are specifically designed to use the heat of condensation of the vapor again, so that this energy can be used for evaporation a couple of times.…”

A High Rated Solar Water Distillation Unit for Solar Homes

“…By developing likely units, one can eliminate the use of a solar still, occupying a large space for operation and requiring more maintenance [5]. For a reference to previous work, Table 1 [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] shows some quality contribution by pioneers of the field. But none of them has made or developed such type of high distilled water unit at negligible cost.…”

Review on series connected photovoltaic thermal (PVT) systems: Analytical and experimental studies

“…Soliman (1976) suggested the concept of high temperature solar distillation (active solar distillation system). Worldwide, many researchers (Rai and Tiwari, 1983;Lawrence and Tiwari, 1990;Tayeb, 1992;Tiwari et al, 2003;Dubey and Tiwari, 2008;Hamadou and Abdellatif, 2014;Ling et al, 2014;Huang et al, 2015;Sebaii et al, 2015;Feilizadeh et al, 2015;Rahbar et al, 2015;Morad et al, 2015;Nimr and Dahdolan, 2015;Dehghan et al, 2015;Taghvaei et al, 2015;Edalatpour et al, 2016;Tiwari and Sahota, 2017) have theoretically and experimentally studied different active solar distillation systems.…”
