CONTINUOUS-ACTION DISTILLER Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: production of distillate. SUBSTANCE: evaporation chamber has doubled walls. Internal walls are volumetric. Condenser is made in form of water-cooling plate, which has washer in its central part. The washer is made in form of a nozzle. There is vapor flow swirler at lower part of the plate, which swirler has several profiled ribs. Continuous-action distiller has dismountable case, which has evaporation chamber 2 and branch pipe 3 for feeding water, dismountable wall 4, heater 5, caps 6, which has distillate drainage pipe 7, provided with water jacket. The jacket has branch pipes 9 and 10 for feeding and removing heat-transfer agent. Distiller also has funnel 11, condenser 12, which has washer 13, swirler 14. Evaporation chamber and cap are connected together by means of flange connector 15. Water entering evaporation chamber, is heated to boiling point by electric heater 5. Water vapors enter condenser 12 through guiding funnel 11. Then vapors are separated in the condenser to two main streams central and radial ones. Central vapor stream passes through washer 13 and condenses under effect of entering cap 6 after being expanded abruptly. Radial vapor stream is condensed when passing through water-cooling ribs of the swirler. Condensate flows down through drainage unit 7. EFFECT: improved efficiency of operation. 2 cl, 2 dwg
