WATER DISTILLERS
Distillers purify water by first evaporating and then condensing the water.
The process through a modern distiller works as follows:
-
The raw feed water is fed manually or automatically into a stainless steel
boiling chamber to a level above the heating element
-
When the proper level of water is reached in the boiling chamber, the heating
element activates as well as the cooling fan on the condenser coil. The
water begins to boil and evaporate in the boiling chamber
-
The steam produced by the boiling water rises and first enters a baffle
system. This breaks down any foaming that may occur as the water boils.
Any volatile gasses are released through a special vent at the highest point
in the cooler system.
- The pure steam passes
through the condenser coil which is cooled by an electric fan.
- The steam condenses and
the purified water passes through an activated carbon filter to polish the
water and further remove contaminants.
- The purified water
collects into the bottom section of the distiller which is a stainless steel
storage tank.
- The pure water is
distributed through a spout at the bottom of the storage tank, or delivered to
a faucet(s) with optional pump kit.
