Water Distillation Unit - Glass

Water Distillation Unit - Glass










Glass Water distillation units produce highly treated and
disinfected water for laboratory usage. The distillation process
removes minerals and microbiological contaminants and can reduce
levels of chemical contaminants.
Water distillers are neither intended to treat water that is
visually contaminated nor intended to convert waste water to safe,
microbiologically.

Working Principle
A water distiller works by boiling water into water vapour,
condensing it and then returning it to its liquid state. It is
collected in a storage container.
The process occurs in several steps

Municipal or well water is manually or automatically fed into
the distiller unit's boiling chamber.
A heating element in the boiling chamber heats the water
until it boils.
The steam rises from the boiling chamber. Volatile
contaminants (gases) are discharged through a built-in vent.
Minerals and salts are retained in the boiling chamber as hard
deposits or scale.
The steam enters a coiled tube (condenser), which is cooled
by cool water.
Water droplets form as condensation occurs.
The distilled water is collected in a storage tank. If the
unit is an automatic model, it is set to operate to fill the storage
tank.







Construction Details
The distillation apparatus consists of flask with heating elements
embedded in glass and fused in spiral type coil internally of the
bottom and tapered round glass, joints at the top double walled
condenser with B-40/B-50 ground glass joints, suitable to work on 220
volts, 50 cycles AC supply.
