A solar distiller is a device used to convert seawater, saline water, or non-potable water into pure water through the process of evaporation and condensation with the help of solar energy. In this context, two main components are used to enhance the effectiveness of the solar distiller: Peltier cells and paraffin wax. The Peltier cells are used to increase the temperature of the inner metal surface of the distiller, speeding up the evaporation process. The cold side of the Peltier cell is used to cool and condense the water vapor inside the distiller, thus improving its output and efficiency. Paraffin wax can store heat when exposed to the sun and release it when the temperature drops, helping to maintain the evaporation process and achieve production even during periods of reduced sunlight intensity.
