Evacuated Stepped Basin Solarstill with PCM and Intermittent Water Collector
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 8
Abstract
The main aim of the project is the design, fabrication and performance analysis of a solarstill for purification of water. Solar energy has great potential for lower running costs, greater reliability and longer working life than any other source of energy, which have been generally used in remote areas. A 20Leatre stepped basin was fabricated for this purpose and was redesigned by adding a heat reservoir of material stearic acid and intermittent water collector to collect more water. Performance analysis of the stepped basin solarstill with heat reservoir and without heat reservoir was done by conducting the experiment. In this experiment we reduce the material for designing of the solar still so that cost of equipment is reduced by 1000 rupees. The experiment mainly studies the variation of solar energy, effect of vacuum, effect of the heat reservoir and intermittent water collector. Compared with stepped basin type solar still it was found that its productivity is increased, when evacuated solarstill with PCM and intermittent water collector is used.
