Abstract

The pilot project of a multistage solar thermal water desalination system has been developed, and experimental investigations have been carried out. This paper presents the results of the testing of the system under laboratory conditions. The results show that the productivity of the developed system is two times higher than that of the conventional solar distillers of the greenhouse type.
