Abstract:
Potable water is one of the vital necessities for the society. The assurance of availability of clean water to society is a big confront due to restricted accessibility of clean water on planet Earth. Solar desalting systems can be used for justifying the appropriate supply of fresh water in distant localities by the use of ample sunlight. In spite of conventional solar desalting systems, various other designs of solar desalting systems are used to boost the overall performance of the system. In this work, various new conceptual designs of passive solar desalting systems have been reviewed to understand better, efficient and productive performing system along with various novel solar desalting systems that can inculcate the real feeling of performing information among the researchers. An overview has also been established for better utility indications and comparative performances among all solar desalting systems. The interpretations have been accomplished with the better results and some favor has also been recommended for the future betterment and building novel designs to meet the feasible hurdles.
