Abstract:
A method for producing a distilled water product which comprises:providing a distillation apparatus comprising a water reservoir container having a water inlet and outlet thereto connected so as to create a reservoir of water therein and a boiler smaller than the reservoir container with an open connection between container and boiler for water flow to or from the boiler, a steam line overhead of the water level in the boiler leading to a condenser immersed in the reservoir, an outlet from said condenser to discharge condensate and an ozone generator in said boiler; and maintaining a predetermined level of reservoir water by introducing feed water into and removing water from said container at a flow rate which maintains a temperature in the range of about 180Â°-190Â° F. in the reservoir and heating the water in said boiler to generate steam, the steam passing through ozone generated by said ozone generator and passing into said condenser to be condensed therein by heat exchange against the reservoir water whereby the reservoir water becomes heated and the heated reservoir water becomes devolatilized and deaerated prior to entering said boiler.
