Abstract

Total population in the world continues to grow, so the need for fresh water continues to increase. Although we know that water covers about three quarters of Earth’s surface, the amount of fresh water in the Earth is only 3% and not all of that amount is eligible to be drunk. One of the inexpensive and eco-friendly solutions to this problem is using solar energy to produce fresh water by using solar distillation. This is because solar distillation is simple, cheap and easy to be made. One of the distillation technologies is basin-type solar still where it only uses the glass cover as condensing medium. Based on a review of previous research, fundamental issue of the basin-type solar still is how to improve performance by increasing the efficiency of basin-type solar still. The method used is testing a prototype which uses preheater and condensate pipe and a prototype which does not use the preheater and condensate pipe as comparison. Data variable tested in this experiment is temperature under heat absorber which is tested by using t-test Paired Sample for Means. The result of this experiment is there is a statistically significance difference of the average of temperature of both prototypes which is directly proportional to the increase of efficiency of the prototypes. The result of efficiency calculation of the prototype using preheater and condensate pipe is 60.675%, while the prototype which does not use the preheater and condensate pipe is 33.268%.
