Summary:We design a controlled thermal solar desalination system that can operate at some desirable conditions automatically. The scarcity of fresh water in some regions pushes forward to the industry of water desalination. However, the existing water desalination technologies are energy-consuming and the cost is high. Here, a water desalination system is designed in such a way that the solar thermal energy is used to take place of the fossil fuel energy and the operation of the whole system becomes automatic. As a result, the proposed system is environmental friendly endowed with the green energy and the cost is reduced due to the elimination of the costly fossil fuel.
