Patent ID: 7531065

Claim:
A fluid distillation apparatus comprising in integral unitized combination: a distillation chamber comprising a distillation tank, a tank lid, means for sealing between said distillation tank and said lid, at least one opening to which a drain passage is connected, at least one opening through which to introduce the fluid into distillation chamber, and at least one opening through which to let out fluid, means for holding said tank lid in dosed position, means for heating said distillation tank, comprising at least one electric heater element, means for minimizing heat loss from said distillation chamber, comprising a means of covering said distillation tank with material which is heat resistant and heat insulating, means for relieving pressure higher than a predetermined value from said distillation chamber and passage connected openly to said distillation chamber, a cabinet for enclosing all components, comprising outer panels for covering exterior surfaces and inner structural members, means for connecting with at least one external apparatus or source of contaminated fluid and with at least one container to receive distilled fluid, comprising at least one each of a fluid inlet port and a fluid outlet part, a distillation tank filling system comprising a means for transferring a contaminated fluid from said external source into said distillation tank, wherein said distillation tank is provided with a means for detecting level of fluid in said distillation chamber, wherein said means for detecting level of fluid comprises a combination of a float with a up-right stem, a magnet attached to said stem and a lead switch, means for converting fluid in said distillation chamber to vapor through heating process, means for condensing said vapor into fluid through cooling process, comprising a condenser fluid flow line between said distillation chamber and condenser, means for transferring condensed fluid to a fluid outlet port, comprising a fluid flow line between said condenser and said fluid outlet port, a debris draining system for automatically draining debris from said distillation tank, comprising at least one valve for opening and closing drain passage and a means for actuating said valve, an electronic control system for controlling distillation process and related functions, comprising at least one microprocessor with memory programmable to perform automatic distillation cycles, an electric power control apparatus for providing and controlling electric power supplies, means for connecting to electric power source, comprising an electric power cord to receive electric power supply, and means for grounding to earth, comprising at least one electrically conductive cord or wire within or outside of said power cord.
