Photovoltaic powered brackish water reverse osmosis (PV-BWRO) desalination systems have been proved to be a technically and economically mature choice for water supply in isolated communities and islands suffering from lack or poor water quality. However, photovoltaic seawater reverse osmosis (PV-SW

A simple and efficient method for the behavior description of solar stills, developed on the basis of extensive testing, is theoretically and experimentally evaluated. The method relates the main climatic data and operating conditions of the still with distilled water output in daily and night base

Nowadays an oil crisis is going on. The impact of rising fuel prices of all energy sources, except renewable ones is destructive. It is an opportunity and a challenge to promote renewable energies by application of the existing technology and simultaneously by intensive research to lower costs and i

A solar distillation system has been designed and installed in NCSR “Demokritos”. The system consists of three parts: an asymmetric, single-effect solar still of greenhouse type, integrated storage and a flat-plate collectors field. The thermal behavior of the system was investigated by two series o
