The apparatus includes a housing enclosing a boiler in the lower portion and a water-filled condenser in the upper portion with an insulated partition between them. The entry of boiler feed water is controlled by a float valve in the boiler, and steam from the boiler is conveyed through the partition and thus through a condenser coil substantially immersed in the water in the condenser.

Water distillation apparatus comprising a housing having a bottom, a peripheral side wall and an open top, a partition within and disposed transversely of said housing to form upper and lower chambers, a condenser within said upper chamber having an inlet and outlet, said inlet extending into said lower chamber and said outlet extending from said housing, tubular means coupling said chambers, means for supplying water to be distilled to said upper chamber to at least partially immerse said condenser and feed water to said lower chamber, means for controlling the flow of water to said lower chamber to maintain a predetermined water level therein, means for the circulation of air over the surface of the water in said upper chamber whereby the water in said lower chamber upon being heated will vaporize, flow through said condenser which is cooled by the surrounding water to condense the vapor and discharge the condensate, the heat imparted to the water in the upper chamber liberating volatile impurities in the water prior to distillation which impurities are constantly removed by said circulation means and an electric heating element in said lower chamber, said condenser comprising resilient tubing in the form of a coil with vertically spaced turns, an inlet on the uppermost turn and an outlet on the lowermost turn with the outlet extending through and secured to said housing wall, said partition including a peripheral gasket of resilient material engaging said partition and frictionally engaging the wall of said housing, and said inlet including means extending through and secured to said partition whereby said coil functions to impede displacement of said partition caused by pressure of steam in said lower chamber.
