Abstract
In today’s world, access to distilled water has become very constrained by the problem of growing demand. To solve the distilled water problem, a solar still with different arrangements of basin materials has been made at low cost. Evaporation and condensation are the basic principles of a solar still; the rate of evaporation is directly proportional to the temperature of the basin. The main technique to improve the basin temperature is to have the basin coupled with a helical copper coil, aluminium fins, a long hollow stainless steel tube and an iron plate. The experimental validation determines the increased nocturnal production in the solar stills. The performance of the conventional solar stills is compared with that of the basin integrated solar still. The solar still with various basin materials arranged in a lengthwise direction was more effective, compared with the one arranged breadthwise. The solar still is designed in such a way that the helical spherical coil, aluminium fins, stainless steel tube and an iron plate can fit into the same basin below 2 cm thickness, and decrease the preheating time.
