Abstract

The single effect basin type solar still has been for long the cheapest way to produce drinkable water from sea water using solar equipment (Howe and Tleimat, 1977). Nevertheless the operating efficiency is low, around 35 %, due mainly to the rejection to the atmosphere of the latent heat of condensation and consequently the production is also low, less than 5 1/m2 day for a good insolation climate. Furthermore the device presents some operation problems like condensation on the inner side of the glass and algae growth both decreasing the radiation absorption of the basin, and others.
