Abstract
The portable water distiller is constructed to distill water placed within a housing and to dispense it directly into a separate storage vessel or to a distilled water space in the housing. In the latter case, the distillers are provided with a flexible impermeable partition which may be in the form of a bag and which divides the interior of the housing into a raw water space and a distilled water space. A boiler is disposed within the raw water space in order to vaporize the water and a compact radiator and fan assembly is mounted on top of the housing in order to condense the vapor into distilled water for delivery to the distilled water space within the housing. A heater-thermostat shut-off means is also provided for turning off the heater when the supply of water is too low.
Claims13
A portable water distiller comprising
- a self-supporting housing;
- a flexible impermeable partition mounted within said housing to define a raw water space and a distilled water space therein;
- a cap mounted on said housing, said cap including an opening for passage of raw water into said raw water space within said housing;
- a heater disposed in said housing for vaporizing the raw water in said raw water space;
- and
- means for condensing the vaporized raw water and for delivering the condensed water into said distilled water space.
A water distiller comprising
- a self-supporting housing;
- a cap removably mounted on said housing;
- a flexible impermeable partition mounted within said housing to define a raw water space and a distilled water space therein;
- a heater disposed in said housing for vaporizing the raw water in said raw water space;
- and
- means for condensing the vaporized raw water and for delivering the condensed water into said distilled water space, said means including a radiator in said cap in communication with said raw storage space to receive a flow of vapor therefrom, a fan for blowing air over said radiator to condense the vapor therein to water and an outlet connected to said radiator for dispensing the water therefrom to said distilled water space.
