Abstract
In this analysis a single basin type solar along with concentrator type solar still was fabricated and tested for desalination of water with various water depths, sensible heat, latent heat and porous materials operated almost on same heat inputs. A concentrator with heat exchanger is designed in a conventional type solar still to act as temperature booster. The collector tray was of dimension 0.9 m2 and 4 mm thick G.I. Sheet was painted black and was attached with heat exchanger pipe. The inclination of the glass is 30. Different water depths of 2cm, 3cm and 4cm were maintained in the still to enhance productivity of the still, sensible heat storage materials. Latent heat, porous materials were used in the still maximum evaporation rate was found for 2cm water depth 2220 ml/m2 Maximum payback period was achieved for concentrator with sensible materials. Key words: concentrator, solar still, Sensible, latent, porous heat storage medium, Depth Variation, heat exchanger
