English Abstract
Solar still is a simple solar device used for converting the available brackish or waste water into potable water.
This device has many advantages like, easily fabricated from locally available materials and cheap maintenance with low skilled labor.
A lot of works were undertaken to improve the productivity of the still.
Throughout the review on solar still performance, the results indicated that, the basin water depth is considered one of the main parameter that affects the still performance.
Also the research showed that; the solar still cover with inclination equal to latitude angle receives sun rays close to normal sun rays throughout the year.
The still productivity also increases with decreasing the cover thickness and increasing its thermal conductivity.
The still basin material plays an important role in improving the productivity of the still.
The research also showed that, the daily production of still was greatly enhanced by using sponge cubes, fins and stepped.
The coupling of a solar collector, hot water tank, glass cover cooling, external reflector, internal condenser and internal reflector increased the productivity.
Finally; from the previous efforts it was clear that; Maximum distillate water achieved in the still was 6.670 L/(13 hrs (7:00 am to 20:00 pm))) by using stepped solar still with pre-heating water and glass cover cooling.
In conclusion, this system proved to be promising and can be future developed to achieve better results as well as Gaza Strip suffers from electrical energy shortage and provide desalinated water with less price during catastrophes, wars and remote areas with low population.
