Performance Evaluation of Combined Batch Type Solar Water Heater Cum Regenerative Solar Still

In this work, effort is being made to integrate two different solar appliances so that they could work in much better way. Solar water heater cum distillation system is designed and fabricated to carry out two operations simultaneously, heating of water and distillation. This composite unit converts solar energy into thermal energy. Arrangement of trough is being made to improve the efficiency of the system.
