Abstract

The availability of clean water for people living on the coast is an unsolved problem for various reasons. To meet the need for clean water consumption, people on the coast only rely on water from shallow wells that are contaminated with sea water, where it tastes brackish or salty and the quality is not guaranteed. Thus, it is necessary to apply appropriate technology in the form of distillation of brackish water into fresh water by utilizing solar energy. The specific purpose of this research is to apply appropriate technology in the form of a brackish water distillation device into fresh water in order to overcome the clean water crisis for coastal communities. This research was conducted using real experimental methods in the field and was carried out at 08:00 am to 04:00 pm with a volume of water in the distillation basin as much as 120 liters. The results showed that there was an increase in performance with the use of solar radiation absorbent plates. The square type solar radiation absorber can produce the highest efficiency of 21.63%, while the cylindrical type solar radiation absorber only produces an efficiency of 21.13%.
