Abstract
This article conclude study the effect of preheating inlet water supplied to
a single effect solar water still on its production and its performance and
also the effect of glass cover cooling by air and water flow on its production
and performance. the experimental results done for the period Feb. to Jun.
2005 at Baghdad –Iraq on a solar water still of 0.4 m2 which was combined
with a solar water heater of 4 m2 show 3.5 - 5 % enhancement in its
production and of 30 – 40% and 13.5 – 15 % production enhancement for
glass cover cooling by air and water flow rates respectively.
