Abstract

Solar desalination functions to filter water, both sea water and brackish water, to produce clean water that is fit for consumption with energy from the sun. Solar energy is a renewable energy source that has been widely studied for its use. One of its uses is in a double slope passive solar still where the sun is the main source. Energy and exergy obtained from solar energy are not all used to evaporate water in the desalination system, so it is necessary to calculate efficiency energy and exergy in the system. This study aims to obtain data on the amount of efficiency energy and exergy from the double slope passive solar still as well as the factors that affect efficiency energy and exergy. The results showed that energy efficiency was in the range of 30.20% to 55.15% and exergy efficiency was in the range of 0.93% to 5.36%. The factors that influence the amount of energy efficiency and exergy are solar intensity, basin area, basin cover area, amount of water produced and ambient temperature.

Abstract

Cooling machines are currently being used more and more in accordance with technological advances and increasing living standards. Common uses are for preserving food, air conditioning, cooling beverages, for making ice cubes, and others. The need for cooling systems in remote areas for various needs such as preservation or storage of food ingredients is felt to be increasing, while the existing conventional cooling systems cannot necessarily be used because not all remote areas have electricity networks, so a simple adsorption cooling system is an alternative for solving problems. cooling system needs in remote areas like this. The purpose of this study was to obtain the optimum vacuum temperature in an adsorption cooler using activated carbon as adsorbent and methanol and ethanol as adsorbate. In this study using the experimental method by analyzing the testing and data processing of methanol and ethanol. The results of this study indicate that the vacuum absorber temperature of the refrigerant (methanol) gets the maximum temperature: 123.53oC on a thermostat with a temperature of 200oC, it can absorb methanol as much as 6.35 ml/kg and produce a water temperature of 9.12oC. Meanwhile, the absorber vacuum temperature for refrigerant (Ethanol) has a maximum temperature of: 123,26oC, on a thermostat with a temperature of 200oC, it can absorb ethanol as much as 6.35 ml/kg and produce a water temperature of 11,79oC.
