Abstract
<abstract> <p>Clean water is important for human life, and obtaining it with the least amount of energy is significant. This research aims to desalinate water using a horizontal multiple effects diffusion solar still (DSS). A small distillation device with an area of 10 × 10 cm<sup>2</sup> was designed and 3D printed. An electric heater was used to simulate solar radiation at 400, 700, and 1000 W/m<sup>2</sup>. The amount of water produced when using 1, 3, and 5 effects was recorded. The most notable results were: maximum water yield reached 1.93 kg/m<sup>2</sup> h at 1000 W/m<sup>2</sup>, at which the solar to vapor conversion efficiency was 107%. The daily water yields throughout the year were estimated, and the maximum production was 10.16 kg/m<sup>2</sup> during a day in June, when the global horizontal irradiance was 7.01 kWh/m<sup>2</sup>. The results were also compared with other distillation systems.</p> </abstract>
