Solar Energy Desalination Technology

From the Back Cover
Solar Energy Desalination Technology explains how to obtain clean water from sea water by solar energy. Special methods and types used in solar desalination are introduced. The book provides new thoughts, concepts and feasible solutions in the desalination field and the thermal and economic efficiency according to the current technology. Many places in the world are suffering from fresh water shortage. However, those places often are with rich solar resource and sea water or brackish water resource. It is energy saving and environmental protecting to produce fresh water by solar energy. For these reasons the solar desalination technology attracts more and more attention.
