Recent Developments in Solar Desalination with Thermal Energy Storage

Abstract

Solar still is very optimistic option for obtaining fresh water from saline or brackish water as it uses solar energy which is free, non-toxic and inexhaustible. Continuous efforts have been made by various researchers worldwide to increase its productivity. Solar still can be integrated with energy storage materials to improve the distillate output. An energy storage substance stores the energy in the form of sensible heat or latent heat during daytime and releases it during off sunshine hours thus resulting in increase of fresh water output. In the present work, an emphasis has been given to review the configurations and performance of solar still integrated with various thermal storage materials.
