Abstract

This work focuses on designing a concentrated solar power water desalination system (CSPWDS). A set of four Fresnel lenses (FRL) are used to concentrate the solar power at their corresponding focal points. The objective is to focus the irradiance power at a small area, where the temperature could reach over a 1000 Cat its focal point. This study investigates a design method of a CSPWDS that includes an investigation of the effectiveness of using FRLs for water desalination. The system automatically tracks the sun to improve its production rate. Four spiral copper pipes receivers are designed to convert the saline water into a steam that is directed upward to benefit from the gravitational force. The salt residue in the steam is then filtered out due to both using a special membrane and due to gravity force. A condensation process is then followed to condense the steam into water. The salinity of the condensed steam is tested to ensure a good quality of the desalinated water. The process is continuously monitored to improve the quality of the generated water. If the level of water salinity is still high, a feedback path is implemented to repeat the process until the quality of the desalination is met.
