DESIGN DEVELOPMENT OF A SOLAR DESALINATION PLANT FOR DRINKING WATER SUPPLY

Abstract

In this paper, the subject of research is the design of a solar desalination plant. The aim of the study is to develop the design of solar desalination plants. In the studies of the developed solar desalination device, the features, advantages, disadvantages and scope were determined. In a single-layer solar desalination device, about 70% of this accumulated energy is wasted uselessly into the environment, and only about 30% after sunset returns to the water and goes to its evaporation. The studies were carried out using experimental methods. The study showed that the newly developed three-layer solar desalination device has a capacity and efficiency of 10% and 15% higher. About 60% of the stored energy is spent on water evaporation. In studies of developed solar desalination plants, it is recommended to use a transparent coating in the form of an arc. The resulting distilled water is of high quality and purity. The developed solar desalination plant can provide water to regions with a shortage of drinking water. Further research provides for the development of a mathematical model and design for a widespread mobile desalination device of light construction.
