태양열 다중효용 해수담수기의 태양열 성능실험

A distillation device using solar energy has been widely studied to supply the fresh water to remote areas such as islands and undeveloped regions. Previous studies showed the results of performance test of the solar distiller with several operational conditions. In this study, we conducted additional parametric performance test for hybrid solar still, such as using reflecting fins and using floating wick. Solar radiation was used as thermal energy of hybrid solar still and each conditions was conducted comparative experiments. Two hybrid solar stills which have same specification with 2m2 used the experiments at the same time, cause it is too difficult reproducing same environment condition such as solar radiation. The results show the superior performance at the condition on applying were not installed reflecting fins and floating wick. For various reasons, non-reflecting fins condition made more distilled water 2.9%. And non-floating wick condition made more distilled water 13.2%.
