The water distillation system according to the invention recaptures and utilizes the inherent heat of transformation in converting from the vapor to the liquid states. The water distillation system efficiently removes volatile gases and impurities from the distillate and recaptures and reuses the heat from the impurities. A water seal is created to seal the drive shaft aperture of the compression housing and the rotating drive shaft of the compression rotor. In addition, the compression rotor is assembled of ultra-light, strong member in such a manner to significantly reduce the manufacturing and maintenance costs of the compression rotor drive mechanism.

An improved water distillation system comprising: a preheater having a water chamber, a source water inlet in fluid communication with the water chamber for supplying water to the water chamber so that the water reaches a normal operating water level within the water chamber, a preheated water outlet in fluid communication with the water chamber and a heat exchanger provided therein wherein the preheater heats incoming source water; an evaporator having a preheated water inlet, an evaporator chamber and a heat exchanger chamber mounted therein wherein the evaporator converts the preheated source water into water vapor and volatile gases; the improvement comprising: an evaporator volatile gas outlet formed in the heat exchanger chamber of the evaporator; a preheater volatile gas inlet formed in the preheater, the gas inlet being located below the normal operating water level in the preheater; and a gas conduit having one end mounted to the evaporator volatile gas outlet and the other end mounted to the preheater volatile gas inlet to create a fluid conduit between the evaporator chamber and the preheater, the gas conduit having an intermediate portion thereof positioned between the evaporator volatile gas outlet and the preheater volatile gas inlet, the intermediate portion also being positioned vertically above the volatile gas inlet to prevent the backflow of water from the preheater to the evaporator; whereby the gas and water vapor mixture exiting the evaporator and entering the preheater through the gas conduit is forced into solution with the water in the preheater so that the gas and water vapor mixture will give up at least a portion of its latent heat to the preheater water such that at least a portion of the water vapor reverts to the liquid state.
