Published at Journal of Cleaner Production – Salinity impacts on a unique desalination system embedded with concentrated solar energy for cleaner production

Abstract: This research comprehensively analyzed a unique solar desalination unit that operates on concentrated solar energy. The analysis primarily focused on evaluating three crucial components: the condenser, flash chamber, and brine heater. Testing was initially performed using seawater sourced from the eastern region of Saudi Arabia. Subsequently, to investigate the influence of salinity on the …
