In this chapter, we've described a solar
desalination system that consists of an evaporation/condensation unit made up
of a bottom basin and eight horizontal stages, connected to a field of four
flat thermal collectors, each with a surface area of 2.1 m2, and a pump powered
by photovoltaic panels. An experimental measurement of the desalination system
was used to validate a simulation model that used a numerical solution to a set
of differential equations characterising the system. According to the MSD system's
testing findings, the highest stage temperatures for the 2020–2022 growing
season will be 90°C, and the system will produce a maximum of 50–60 litres of
water with a conductivity of 50–70 s/cm and a salt level of 0.045 g/L. In order
to ensure the production of pure (drinking) water with a conductivity (2700
s/cm) and a salt content (500 mg/L), from a high conductivity well (4050 s/cm)
and salt content (> 2720 mg/L), by solar energy, this pilot station in Douar
Al Hamri, in the rural town of Boughriba in the Province of Berkane, Morocco,
was installed and tested in the weather conditions of this isolated region The
simulations and the experiment have great agreement, as shown by the modelling
of these experimental data using the thermal equations established throughout
this work. The evaluation of all the data and comparisons with the literature
make it abundantly evident that the MSD system blocks established during this
effort are operating effectively.
