Charperformance Analysis of Different Energy Absorbing Plates on Solar Stills

Solar distillation mimics nature’s hydrologic water cycle by purify water through evaporation as well as condensation. It is one of the most basic purification systems available today to get high quality of drinking water and can remove non-volatile contamination from almost any water source. Solar still is a one kind of solar distillation system in which brackish or impure water converted into drinkable water. Here, three solar stills have developed by locally available materials. The first one is a conventional type and the second solar still is consists of Aluminum plate while the third one consists of Galvanized iron. Here, experiment performed to get higher distillate output from solar still. Experiments represent that, solar still consists of aluminum plate gives 30 % more output compared with conventional solar still and Galvanized iron plate inside solar still gives 12% more output compared with conventional solar still. Hence, Aluminum plate is the best plate to obtain higher distillate output from solar still.
