Solar thermally driven desalination systems with corrosion-free collectors

Abstract: There exist various desalination systems that work at operating temperatures of 60 to 80°C. As an example, the multi-effect ambient pressure desalination system with free convection of air may be mentioned. It is described in /1/ and /2/. Like other concepts and desalination systems, it is very well suited for operation with thermal solar collectors, thus using renewable energy resources. For solar thermally driven desalination systems, special corrosion-free collectors have to be developed. The paper describes the work carried out so far at the Fraunhofer ISE in Germany.
