✦ Synopsis

In this paper the performance of a low temperature, SO-70 C, solar boiler is presented. The boiler consisted of a double-glazed flat-plate solar collector, a f 1 ash chamber, a water cooled surface condenser, a circulating pump, and a temperature-controlled preheater to simulate constant temperature thermal storage. Data were obtained on this boiler from October 1980 to May 1981. During this period, show that low temperature steam, 50 to 70 C, from such boilers can be produced to drive multieffect distillation systems using high performance evaporators for desalting saline water.
