Abstract: In the world, impure water is a major health problem. More than one billion people lack access to safe drinking water. Diseases due to water are responsible for about 80% of diseases in developing countries. Conical solar collector usually consists of a conic form solar energy concentrator, which reflects solar energy into a cylindrical absorber. The absorber is a tube, painted with solar radiation absorbing material, located at the truncated cone, the concentration ratio ranges from 3.6 to 26, depending on the radius of the aperture of the conic solar energy concentrator. The average absorber temperature can reach a temperature up to 300 °C, depending on the concentration ratio, solar intensity, wind speed and other parameters. Hence, such collectors are an ideal device for power generation, water desalination applications and sterilization.
