Patent ID: 7749360

Claim:
A vapor based purification system, comprising: an evaporator having an inlet and an outlet, the inlet of the evaporator for receiving the liquid and the outlet of the evaporator for delivering the vapor; a vapor condenser housing having an inlet and an outlet, the inlet of the vapor condenser housing in communication with the outlet of the evaporator for receiving the vapor, the outlet of the vapor condenser housing for discharging a processed liquid; and a vapor condenser disposed in the vapor condenser housing, comprising, a stator including a protrusion proximate to the inlet of the vapor condenser housing, the stator further including at least one ridge extending axially along a length of the stator; a rotor disposed for rotation about the stator, the rotor including a protrusion proximate to the inlet of the vapor condenser housing, the protrusion of the rotor cooperating with the protrusion of the stator to draw the vapor from the evaporator into the vapor condenser, the rotor further including at least one ridge extending axially along a length of the rotor, the ridge of the rotor cooperating with the ridge of the stator to move a mixture of the vapor and the processed liquid towards at least one drain in the rotor where the processed liquid is communicated to the outlet of the vapor condenser housing; a feedback loop in fluid communication with the outlet of the vapor condenser and the stator; and wherein the stator further includes at least one spray nozzle for spraying the processed liquid towards the rotor.
