Experimental research on solar chimneys integrated with seawater desalination under practical weather condition

► An integrated system test device has been built under actual weather condition. ► The integrated system can achieve multi-targeted production. ► The airflow temperature rise mainly occurs in the first 1/3 section of collector radius. ► The main period of the freshwater output is in the absence of solar irradiance time. ► The system would significantly improve the utilization efficiency of the solar energy.
