Abstract
In our previous study, results of the indoor performance test of a tilted-tray, wick-type solar still with a condensing chamber have been reported. In the present study, dependence of total distillate on saline water flow rate has been experimentally investigated. Performance tests were done and their results were compared with those of the non-circulation type solar still. It was found that the effect of the distillate on saline water flow rate was smaller at higher solar insolation than at lower insolation.
