Introduction:

​

          Many people in the world globally have limited or no access to clean drinking water.  The motivation of this report aims to document a senior project to satisfy for the award of MET by CWU. The purpose of the project was to design and manufacture a solar thermal collector capable of heating water using solar energy.

​

​

Design Requirements: 

   

 

The solar powered for Seawater Distiller must hold to these requirements:​

​

• Prototype collector to be no more than 24 x 50 inches for going through doorways etc.

•       Be able to absorb and utilize at least 70% of the incoming solar radiation on a day where irradiance is equal to 800 W/m2.

•        The result in the efficiency and heating capacity of the collector to be 95 C 

•       Cost no more than $500 to manufacture.

•       The device must be transportable simply for a long distance and it is required no more than 25 lbs. of force to hold up when the device is transport.

•         Weight no more than 100 lbs.

 

 

Scope

 

​

  The scope of this project was the solar Collector tube efficiency. The water container, piping, and stand are already in the lab storage cupboard. Kumail Alshagag was doing condensation unit.
