IMPROVEMENT OF THE SOLAR MIRRORS DESALINATION PLANTS

Abstract

For the shortage of water resources in Egypt and Arab countries, A need to develop low cost technology of seawater desalination to save a resource of potable water. The objective of this thesis is to improve the recovery ratio and the efficiency with minimum cost of the direct Solar desalination system plant using concentrated mirrors. The pilot plant was erected on the experimental laboratory site area of faculty of engineering, Ain Shams university, Cairo, Egypt. This study was made in summer in four months which covers the best climatic period which helped in obtaining the best performance of the pilot plant.
