โฆ Synopsis
obtained from an identical system with a single cover solar collector. These last data are then compared to the results obtained in a particular month from the experimental study of a prototype with equivalent components, tested in Tunisia. The TIM cover's system proved to be about 40% more efficient than the single cover solar system. The average net solar COP was 0.13 for the TIM cover system during the six month considered period. This corresponds to 7-10 kg/ day of ice production per square meter of solar collection surface, respectively, for March and December, with solar irradiations ranging from 20 to 23 MJ/mz, during the October-March period.

A simple, efficient mobile small-scale solar pond was designed and operated for several months to measure its thermal performance. The pond is a covered shallow saltless one, used with a boosting plane reflector for water heating. The pond was tested under several conditions including with and witho
