MRK Institute of Technology, Tamil Nadu, India
ABSTRACT
Solar distillation is a promising method for the supply of freshwater to
rural communities. Worldwide passive solar still is used for solar distillation
plants due to its simplicity in construction and operation, low cost and
however the yield is low. Various active methods have been developed to
overcome this issue. These developments create additional costs for the
system. The main objective of this project is to effectively utilize the solar
water heater for solar still productivity enhancement, which works as a hybrid
system. The evacuated tube collector model solar water heater was coupled to
a solar still, and the performance study was conducted at various timings with
different operating conditions like Solar still operated alone and Hybrid Still
operated during daytime with various water depths and various water
samples. Both Theoretical and Experimental analysis were conducted and the
results were compared. The water quality results for different water samples
for both untreated and treated water were tabulated.
Key words: Evacuated Tube Collector, Productivity, Solar Still, Solar Water
Heater, Water Quality.

1. INTRODUCTION
Today fresh water demand is increasing continuously, because of the industrial
development, intensified agriculture, improvement of standard of life and increase of
the world population. Only about 3 % of the world water is potable and this amount is
not evenly distributed on the earth Large quantities of fresh water are required in

many parts of the world for agricultural, industrial and domestic uses. Lack of fresh
water is a prime factor in inhibiting regional economic development. Seawater and
sometimes brackish water desalination constitute an important option for satisfying
current and future demands for fresh water in arid regions. Desalination can be
achieved by using a number of techniques. The conventional distillation process
namely reverse osmosis, electro dialysis, multi effect evaporation etc are not only
energy intensive but also uneconomical when the demand for the fresh water is small
Solar distillation is an attractive Saline water Distillation. The basin type of solar
still is simple in design, manufacture and operation. In addition this process is cost
free. Enhancing stills yield have been studied by many investigators and they have
suggested many approaches like concave wick, tube type, and weir type was also
reported for productivity enhancement. Also approaches like using different insulating
materials, brine level, double slope concentrators, etc.
2. PROPOSED SYSTEM
T. V. Ramachandra [13] proposed a solar energy potential assessment using GIS.
He proposed that Renewable energy systems use resources that are constantly
replaced in nature and are usually less polluting. The potential analysis reveals that,
maximum global solar radiation is in districts such as Uttara Kannada and Dakshina
Kannada. Global solar radiation in Uttara Kannada during summer, monsoon and
winter are 6.31, 4.40 and 5.48 kWh/sq.m, respectively. Similarly, Dakshina Kannada
has 6.16, 3.89 and 5.21 kWh/sq.m during summer, monsoon and winterSantosh M.
Avvannavar, Monto Mani1, Nanda Kumar [14] conducted a research on Improving
access to safe drinking water can result in multi-dimensional impacts on people’s
livelihood. They concluded that solar still is the safe and suitable way for water
desalination. Hitesh N Panchal [22] worked on the effect of various parameters on
productivity of Single slope and double slope solar still. Distilled output of
double slope solar still is higher compared with single slope. Distilled output
from the solar still is higher at 13:00. Solar insolation is highest at13:00. By use
of sprinkler and increased condensation area, the distilled output is increased up to
20%. By use of 2.0 cm water depth, proper utilization of the solar insolation as well
as distilled output is increased. So permissible water depth is 2.0 cm and it should be
maintained constant by constant head tank. O.O.Badran, H.A .Al –Tahaineh [10]
performed a study on the Effect of coupling a Flat plate collector on the solar still
productivity. He carried out experiment for different parameters to enhance the
productivity and the same were studied. Single slope Solar still with mirrors fixed to
the interior sides of the still was coupled to an FPC. It was found that coupling effect
has increased the productivity by 36% compared to that of an active solar still
K.Voropolous, E.Mathioulakis, V.Belessiotis [7] conducted an Experimental
Investigation of the behavior of solar still coupled with hot water storage tank.
G.N.Tiwari, J.N.Thomas and Emran Khan [4] studied on thermal analysis of solar
distillation to optimize the inclination of the glass cover for maximum yield.
Enhancing stills yield have been studied many investigators and they have suggested
many approaches like concave wick, tube type, and weir type was also reported
for productivity enhancement. Also approaches like using different insulating
materials, brine level, double slope concentrators, etc. The single basin solar still was
coupled with a flat plate collector (FPC) in natural circulation mode, which resulted
in a productivity enhancement of 30 to 52% compared to the simple solar still.
Over 50% of the productivity enhancement was achieved by coupling the solar still
with a flat plate solar collector in forced circulation mode. The solar still coupled

with a parabolic concentrator increased the productivity by 35 to 45%, and this
increase was larger in the double effect still. The solar water heater is the best
option for increasing the basin water temperature. The evacuated tube collector
(ETC)-type solar water heater is more advantageous than the flat plate collector type
due to its greater reduction in heat losses caused by the vacuum present in the tubes.
Evacuated tube solar collectors have improved performance compared to the flat
plate collectors, particularly for high temperature operations
3. EXPERIMENTAL SETUP AND RESULTS
Figure 1 Experimental Set up
A double slope single basin solar still coupled with an ETC solar water heater is
designed and constructed for the experimental work. It is as shown in the figure 1
.The basin of the solar still is square in shape with an absorber area of 1m2. The basin
structure of the solar still is composed of a galvanized iron sheet. The inner side of the
basin is painted black to maximize the absorption of solar radiation. The bottom and
sides of the still basin were well insulated with a Glass wool layer that was 0.025 m
thick. The box surrounding the still basin is made of plywood. An inlet pipe was
fixed to the rear side of the solar still to supply brackish water. One additional pipe
was fixed at the left side of the solar still to drain out the dirty water after the
distillation is finished. An ordinary clear window with a glass thickness of 0.005 m
was used as the top cover of the solar still and inclined at an angle of 45°. The total
experimental setup was arranged to face in the southern-northern direction to receive
the maximum solar radiation. A silicon rubber sealant was used as the seal between
the glass cover and body of the solar still to prevent leakage at the stem. The distillate
water condensed from the glass cover was collected in a distillation trough fit on the
lower side of the solar still. Additionally, a rubber pipe was connected to the
collection tray to collect desalinated water into a measuring jar. Holes were drilled in
the body of the still to attach the thermocouples that measured the temperature at
various locations. The hybrid solar still unit was operated in the month of April –
May 2012 under local conditions. The above designed single basin solar still was
coupled to an ETC-type solar water heater that was manufactured by TATA BP
SOLAR, which is an approved manufacture of ETC-type solar water heaters by the
Ministry of New and Renewable Energy Sources (MNRE), Government of India.

Working Principle
Figure 2 Schematic Diagram of the Experimental Set up
Initially, the tap water was supplied to the ETC solar water heater and run for a
day to reach a steady state condition. The quantity of water in the basin of the solar
stills was maintained at 10 kg for both passive and active modes of operation. The
experiment commenced two days after assembly of the glass cover and after reaching
steady state conditions in the storage tank. The experimental performance tests were
conducted from April to July 2012. To find the effect of coupling an ETC solar water
heater with the solar still, Different tests explained below were performed:
 Solar Still Alone
 Hybrid Still (Solar Still + ETC type Solar Heater) operated from 8AM till 5PM
These experiments were conducted for different Water samples (River water,
Borewell water and Synthetic water (KMnO4)

Experiments were conducted to understand the performance of the solar still
coupled with the solar water heater for comparison with the passive solar still alone.
As can be seen from the hourly yield equation, the water temperature and the inner
glass cover temperature were the most influential parameters on the yield calculation.

4. CONCLUSIONS
An experimental investigation is done for comparing a passive solar still and an ETC
solar water heater coupled with a solar still.
 Productivity of Solar Still increases from 39 to 59% with hybrid unit.i.e when a
Solar Still is coupled to an ETC type of solar water heater and operated from 8AM to 5PM
 The efficiency for 1cm water depth ranged from 43 to 52%, for 1.5cm it ranged from
39 to 48% and for 2cm it ranged from 32 to 41% for a Hybrid Solar Still operated
during day time. Hence it can be concluded that the efficiency of the still decreases
with the increase in water depth
 The thermal efficiency of active solar still is higher than the passive solar still. It
ranges from 32 to 48% for hybrid unit operated during the day.
 Adding the dissolved salt like KMnO4 to river water increased the efficiency from
46.91 to 48.83% for a water depth of 1cm.
 The theoretical analysis was in good agreement with the experimental results.
Solar energy is the best alternative heating energy source. It is renewable and
easily available in all parts of the world which is cheap and clean. The hybrid solar
still tested confirms the high quality drinking water from the source water of very
poor quality. Finally, it can be concluded that use of solar distillation promises to
enhance the quality of life and to improve health standards in remote areas also.

Ashok Kumar and S. Rajesh Department of Thermal Engineering, MRK Institute of Technology, Tamil Nadu, India ABSTRACT Solar distillation is a promising method for the supply of freshwater to rural communities. Worldwide passive solar still is used for solar distillation plants due to its simplicity in construction and operation, low cost and however the yield is low. Various active methods have been developed to overcome this issue. These developments create additional costs for the system. The main objective of this project is to effectively utilize the solar water heater for solar still productivity enhancement, which works as a hybrid system. The evacuated tube collector model solar water heater was coupled to a solar still, and the performance study was conducted at various timings with different operating conditions like Solar still operated alone and Hybrid Still operated during daytime with various water depths and various water samples. Both Theoretical and Experimental analysis were conducted and the results were compared. The water quality results for different water samples for both untreated and treated water were tabulated. Key words: Evacuated Tube Collector, Productivity, Solar Still, Solar Water Heater, Water Quality. Cite this Article: M. Ashok Kumar and S. Rajesh.

INTRODUCTION Today fresh water demand is increasing continuously, because of the industrial development, intensified agriculture, improvement of standard of life and increase of the world population. Only about 3 % of the world water is potable and this amount is not evenly distributed on the earth Large quantities of fresh water are required in
  • 2. M. Ashok Kumar and S.Rajesh http://www.iaeme.com/ijmet/index.asp 12 editor@iaeme.com many parts of the world for agricultural, industrial and domestic uses. Lack of fresh water is a prime factor in inhibiting regional economic development. Seawater and sometimes brackish water desalination constitute an important option for satisfying current and future demands for fresh water in arid regions. Desalination can be achieved by using a number of techniques. The conventional distillation process namely reverse osmosis, electro dialysis, multi effect evaporation etc are not only energy intensive but also uneconomical when the demand for the fresh water is small Solar distillation is an attractive Saline water Distillation. The basin type of solar still is simple in design, manufacture and operation. In addition this process is cost free. Enhancing stills yield have been studied by many investigators and they have suggested many approaches like concave wick, tube type, and weir type was also reported for productivity enhancement. Also approaches like using different insulating materials, brine level, double slope concentrators, etc. 2. PROPOSED SYSTEM T. V. Ramachandra [13] proposed a solar energy potential assessment using GIS. He proposed that Renewable energy systems use resources that are constantly replaced in nature and are usually less polluting. The potential analysis reveals that, maximum global solar radiation is in districts such as Uttara Kannada and Dakshina Kannada. Global solar radiation in Uttara Kannada during summer, monsoon and winter are 6.31, 4.40 and 5.48 kWh/sq.m, respectively. Similarly, Dakshina Kannada has 6.16, 3.89 and 5.21 kWh/sq.m during summer, monsoon and winterSantosh M. Avvannavar, Monto Mani1, Nanda Kumar [14] conducted a research on Improving access to safe drinking water can result in multi-dimensional impacts on people’s livelihood. They concluded that solar still is the safe and suitable way for water desalination. Hitesh N Panchal [22] worked on the effect of various parameters on productivity of Single slope and double slope solar still. Distilled output of double slope solar still is higher compared with single slope. Distilled output from the solar still is higher at 13:00. Solar insolation is highest at13:00. By use of sprinkler and increased condensation area, the distilled output is increased up to 20%. By use of 2.0 cm water depth, proper utilization of the solar insolation as well as distilled output is increased. So permissible water depth is 2.0 cm and it should be maintained constant by constant head tank. O.O.Badran, H.A .Al –Tahaineh [10] performed a study on the Effect of coupling a Flat plate collector on the solar still productivity. He carried out experiment for different parameters to enhance the productivity and the same were studied. Single slope Solar still with mirrors fixed to the interior sides of the still was coupled to an FPC. It was found that coupling effect has increased the productivity by 36% compared to that of an active solar still K.Voropolous, E.Mathioulakis, V.Belessiotis [7] conducted an Experimental Investigation of the behavior of solar still coupled with hot water storage tank. G.N.Tiwari, J.N.Thomas and Emran Khan [4] studied on thermal analysis of solar distillation to optimize the inclination of the glass cover for maximum yield. Enhancing stills yield have been studied many investigators and they have suggested many approaches like concave wick, tube type, and weir type was also reported for productivity enhancement. Also approaches like using different insulating materials, brine level, double slope concentrators, etc. The single basin solar still was coupled with a flat plate collector (FPC) in natural circulation mode, which resulted in a productivity enhancement of 30 to 52% compared to the simple solar still. Over 50% of the productivity enhancement was achieved by coupling the solar still with a flat plate solar collector in forced circulation mode. The solar still coupled

The solar water heater is the best option for increasing the basin water temperature. The evacuated tube collector (ETC)-type solar water heater is more advantageous than the flat plate collector type due to its greater reduction in heat losses caused by the vacuum present in the tubes. Evacuated tube solar collectors have improved performance compared to the flat plate collectors, particularly for high temperature operations 3. EXPERIMENTAL SETUP AND RESULTS Figure 1 Experimental Set up A double slope single basin solar still coupled with an ETC solar water heater is designed and constructed for the experimental work. It is as shown in the figure 1 .The basin of the solar still is square in shape with an absorber area of 1m2. The basin structure of the solar still is composed of a galvanized iron sheet. The inner side of the basin is painted black to maximize the absorption of solar radiation. The bottom and sides of the still basin were well insulated with a Glass wool layer that was 0.025 m thick. The box surrounding the still basin is made of plywood. An inlet pipe was fixed to the rear side of the solar still to supply brackish water. One additional pipe was fixed at the left side of the solar still to drain out the dirty water after the distillation is finished. An ordinary clear window with a glass thickness of 0.005 m was used as the top cover of the solar still and inclined at an angle of 45°. The total experimental setup was arranged to face in the southern-northern direction to receive the maximum solar radiation. A silicon rubber sealant was used as the seal between the glass cover and body of the solar still to prevent leakage at the stem. The distillate water condensed from the glass cover was collected in a distillation trough fit on the lower side of the solar still. Additionally, a rubber pipe was connected to the collection tray to collect desalinated water into a measuring jar. Holes were drilled in the body of the still to attach the thermocouples that measured the temperature at various locations. The hybrid solar still unit was operated in the month of April – May 2012 under local conditions. The above designed single basin solar still was coupled to an ETC-type solar water heater that was manufactured by TATA BP SOLAR, which is an approved manufacture of ETC-type solar water heaters by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy Sources (MNRE), Government of India.

CONCLUSIONS An experimental investigation is done for comparing a passive solar still and an ETC solar water heater coupled with a solar still.  Productivity of Solar Still increases from 39 to 59% with hybrid unit.i.e when a Solar Still is coupled to an ETC type of solar water heater and operated from 8AM to 5PM  The efficiency for 1cm water depth ranged from 43 to 52%, for 1.5cm it ranged from 39 to 48% and for 2cm it ranged from 32 to 41% for a Hybrid Solar Still operated during day time. Hence it can be concluded that the efficiency of the still decreases with the increase in water depth  The thermal efficiency of active solar still is higher than the passive solar still. It ranges from 32 to 48% for hybrid unit operated during the day.  Adding the dissolved salt like KMnO4 to river water increased the efficiency from 46.91 to 48.83% for a water depth of 1cm.  The theoretical analysis was in good agreement with the experimental results. Solar energy is the best alternative heating energy source. It is renewable and easily available in all parts of the world which is cheap and clean. The hybrid solar still tested confirms the high quality drinking water from the source water of very poor quality. Finally, it can be concluded that use of solar distillation promises to enhance the quality of life and to improve health standards in remote areas also.
