Abstract
ABSTRACT
Today, many people are concerned about the water used for living and irrigation in salty areas, coastal areas and islands. The article presents the results of the experimental research on the production of fresh water from seawater by spraying using solar energy. The research results show that in the period from 8 to 16 hours, the radiation intensity measured from 300 - 1200 W/m2, the solar collector area is 2 m2, the amount of fresh water obtained is from 0.5 – 1.12 liters/h, the average electricity consumption is 0.433 kWh/liter. This experimental result suggests the research on the production of fresh water from salt water using solar energy to reduce the cost of fresh water in salty areas.
