Multiple effect

This paper presents a newly designed simple solar still: a vertical multiple-effect diffusion-type solar still consisting of a flat-plate mirror, a number of vertical parallel partitions in contact with saline-soaked wicks with narrow air gaps between partitions, and casters for azimuth tracking by

A parametric investigation was theoretically performed for the vertical multiple-effect diffusion-type solar still, which consists of a number of vertical partitions in contact with saline-soaked wicks with narrow gaps between the partitions, coupled with a heat-pipe solar collector. The proposed st

We proposed a newly designed, compact multiple-effect diffusion-type solar still consisting of a heat-pipe solar collector and a number of vertical parallel partitions in contact with saline-soaked wicks. The solar collector and the vertical multiple-effect diffusion-type solar still can be folded o

The project concerns the design, optimization, construction, assembling, start-up and extensive monitoring of an experimental plant consisting of a full-titanium desalinator coupled with a small solar pond. The operational tests took place at the site of the solar pond of the University of Ancona (I
