摘要：The purpose of this project is to design a water distillation system that can purify water from nearly anysource, a system that is relatively cheap, portable, and depends only on renewable solar energy. The motivation for thisproject is the limited availability of clean water resources and the abundance of impure water available for potentialconversion into potable water, In addition, there are many coastal locations where seawater is abundant but potablewater is not available. Our project goal is to efficiently produce clean drinkable water from solar energy conversion.Distillation is one of many processes that can be used for water purification. This requires an energy input as heat,electricity and solar radiation can be the source of energy. When Solar energy is used for this purpose, it is known asSolar water Distillation. Solar Distillation is an attractive process to produce portable water using free of cost solarenergy. This energy is used directly for evaporating water inside a device usually termed a “Solar Still”. Solar stills areused in cases where rain, piped, or well water is impractical, such as in remote homes or during power outages.Different versions of a still are used to desalinate seawater, in desert survival kits and for home water Purification. Inthis paper a double slope type solar still was fabricated for the purification of bore water and tap water in rural areas.The purity and hourly productivity of purified water were tested and are tabulated.
