โœฆ Synopsis

A completety solar-powered greenhouse complex has been designed for climate controlled food production in hot. humid environments. The concept uses passive design features to provide irrigation water from saline water sources. This paper discusses the overall system concept and the solar still subsystem which has heen designed to provide a continuous fresh water supply. While incorporating many innovative features, the use of proven technologies and passive design results in a system that should compete economically with current. more traditional designs.

A design is presented for a solar/thermal system configured to power a reverse osmosis (RO) desalination unit to produce 7000 gallons of fresh water in an eight hour period. A field of line-focus tracking solar collectors is used to heat a high pressure liquid-vapor water storage tank supplying two

Solar-and nuclear-electricity-generation technologies often are deemed ''carbon-free'' because their operation does not generate any carbon dioxide. However, this is not so when considering their entire lifecycle of energy production; carbon dioxide and other gases are emitted during the extraction,
