Abstract

This study is devoted to the development of constructive and technological solutions aimed at improving the thermal and energy efficiency of an energy-efficient water desalination system operating on the basis of solar air collectors. The results demonstrate the feasibility of effectively utilizing low- and medium-temperature thermal energy generated in solar air collectors for water evaporation–condensation processes. The research focuses on evaluating and optimizing the main energetic performance indicators of the system, including thermal efficiency, specific energy consumption, and water production productivity. The integrated operation of the proposed system requires lower energy input compared to conventional methods, reduces carbon emissions, and ensures environmental sustainability. Therefore, the findings confirm the prospects and economic viability of implementing this technology in regions experiencing shortages of drinking water.

Keywords
