Abstract:
A distilling device for converting unprocessed water into purified water and comprising:a fill tank for holding said unprocessed water, a base comprising; a water tray, removable therefrom, and comprising; a fill chamber for receiving said unprocessed water from said fill tank; a boiling chamber, and a channel for directing said unprocessed water from said fill chamber into said boiling chamber, and comprising a portion thereof adjacent to said boiling chamber and in thermal communication therewith, and for pre-warming said unprocessed water for evaporating volatile impurities therefrom, and a float disposed in said unprocessed water for rising and falling with the level thereof, a mist chamber disposed above said base and removable therefrom and comprising; a heater depending therefrom into said boiling chamber to boil said unprocessed water therein and to convert said unprocessed water into a purified steam rising therefrom, a condensation coil having a tubular hole therethrough, a mist chimney for channeling said rising steam from said boiling chamber into said tubular hole, and a cooling fan for pulling outside air into said mist chamber and across said condensation coil for cooling said condensation coil and said steam therein, thereby causing said steam to condense therein into purified water, a switch associated with said float and having an active state for enabling said heater and an inactive state for disabling said heater, wherein said float causes said switch into said inactive state during either the absence of said unprocessed water or the removal of said mist chamber from said base, or both, and a reservoir tank for collecting said purified water from said condensation coil and comprising a serving pitcher.
