Evaluation of clean water productivity in distillation equipment with zinc-coated steel basins

Abstract

Water is a very important component for humans in everyday life. The need for clean water is currently increasing, especially for people living in coastal areas, this is because the water still contains salt and smells. Solar radiation energy is an alternative energy source. However, its use has not been utilized optimally, as science develops, solar energy has become an object of research, and one discovery of the use of solar energy is distilling sea water using solar energy. Under these conditions, research will be carried out on clean water distillation equipment, to see and analyze the productivity of water produced by clean water distillation equipment that uses zinc-coated steel tanks. The results obtained do not rule out the possibility that this distillation device with a zinc-coated steel tub can be used to reduce the problem of lack of clean water, especially as it is known in coastal areas where solar energy sources are not only abundant but also very abundant, but the availability of clean water is limited. still very minimal. So that existing solar energy sources can be used as an energy source in distillation equipment to produce clean water. From these results, the productivity of the water produced can be seen that solar radiation has a great influence on increasing the efficiency of the distillation equipment. Then the results of condensate water production and efficiency produced by a tool with a one-sided cover glass are greater than a tool with a double-sided cover glass
