Classification: CPC C  B  Y | IPC B  C

Claim 13:
14. A fluid vapor distillation apparatus comprising:
a source water input;
a product water output;
an evaporator condenser apparatus that transforms source water into water vapor and compressed water vapor into product water;
a compressor receiving water vapor and producing compressed vapor;
a heat exchanger comprising:
an outer tube;
at least one inner tube; and
a first end and a second end;

a termination is attached to each of the first end and the second end, each of the terminations comprising:
a source water termination physically connected to the outer tube, the source water termination having a first port fluidly connected to the inside of the outer tube and a source water seal to the outer surface of the at least one inner tube;
a tube termination having a second port fluidly connected to the inside of the at least one inner tube port and a tube seal to the outer surface of the at least one inner tube;
wherein the tube termination is mechanically coupled to the source water termination; and
a leak path between the source water termination and the tube termination to the outside of the heat exchanger whereby fluid leaking past the seal or the seal may exit the heat exchanger;

wherein the first port on the termination at the first end is fluidly connected to the source water inlet, and the second port on the termination at the first end is connected to the product water output and the first and second ports on the termination at the second end are fluidly connected to the evaporator condenser apparatus.
