Preliminary Test of Double Slope Solar Still Integrating with Oil Palm Shells
Keywords:
solar still, double slope, oil palm shellsAbstract
The scarcity of freshwater is a problem almost all over the world. Sources of freshwater are decreasing along with industrial development, increasing human population, and this is exacerbated by environmental pollution. To overcome this, solar stills can be used to convert seawater into freshwater using solar energy. Solar still is very useful for use in remote areas to meet the needs of freshwater. Solar still has a simple construction and is easy to manufacture but has low productivity of freshwater. The productivity of freshwater in the solar still can be increased by increasing the absorption of heat energy in the solar still. In this study, oil palm shells were used to increase the absorption of heat energy in solar still. From the results of the study, it was found that the use of oil palm shells can increase the heat transfer in solar still up to 12.3%.
