Abstract
An automobile distiller generally comprises a water reservoir to collect the condensed water from the evaporator of the air conditioner. A distilling tank made from metal with high heat conductivity is seated onto the manifold of the engine. The steam generated therefrom is sent to the air conditioner for cooling and the distilled water is formed for drinking. By this arrangement, the condensed water and exhausted heat from engine can be completely recycled to provide distilled water for drinking.
