Solar-Powered Water Purification System with Energy Storage

摘要

At a time when potable water, fossil fuels, and wood fuels are increasingly scarce, it is moreimportant than ever to develop methods of purifying water with renewable energy resources.This report compares the benefits and drawbacks of various models of solar powered waterpasteurizers and solar powered stills. A flow diagram is proposed for a solar powered distillationsystem which utilizes phase change material energy storage to extend its productive time.
