Abstract
Variations in the addition of absorber fin in seawater desalination technology using single slope solar still have been conducted by many researchers to reduce heat loss during the testing process. The addition of the absorption surface area of heat energy becomes the foundation of the development of this experiment. This study was conducted to test the single slope solar still distillation results using variations in absorber height. The absorbers used were a type of hollow circular fin with 2 cm and 4 cm in height. The research was conducted experimentally with an hourly data collection system starting from 07.00 to 18.00 WIB GMT+7. The productivity of distilled water produced by 2 cm and 4 cm fins was compared with the results of conventional solar still. The results noted an increase in distilled water productivity of 32.74% at 2 cm fins and 20.46% at 4 cm fins. The assumption of increasing the fin height to expand the heat absorption surface decreased productivity. Cumulated productivity of the solar stills were 855 mL, 1135 mL and 1030 mL, respectively from conventional, 2 cm and 4 cm fin height.
