The authors discuss the application potential of desalination for a novel low-cost solar thermal technology called the integrated compound parabolic concentrator (ICPC). This collector is designed using nonimaging optic principles, previously introduced in last year’s SPIE conference, 2019. Optical and thermal models are demonstrated, with preliminary experimental results. When coupled with a latent heat thermal storage system, the combined effort supplies sufficient heat demand for thermal desalination processes.
