KARAKTERISTIK PERMUKAAN ABSORBER RADIASI MATAHARI PADA SOLAR STILL DAN APLIKASINYA SEBAGAI ALAT DESTILASI AIR LAUT MENJADI AIR TAWAR

Abstract

A research about solar energy absorber’s surface characteristic and its application as a water desalination has successfully been done. The research purpose is to know the effect of form and thickness of solar energy absorber to solar still performance. The research results show that the wave form and the thickness are most effective to improve the solar still’s performance.

Keywords: absorber, solar still, solar energy, water desalination.
