Increasing the ecological efficiency of water desalination by solar installations
This article presents a theoretical justification of the design parameters of a solar desalination plant intended for the extraction of fresh water from brine. A series of conducted investigations revealed the mechanisms of solar energy distribution and the principal heat losses within the components of the solar desalination plant. This made it possible to theoretically determine the interaction between key natural and anthropogenic factors influencing the increase in the environmental efficiency of the water desalination process.
