BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS:
A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the example thereof illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIGURE 1 is a perspective view of the automatic water distillator of the present invention as mounted on a j support frame;
FIGURE 2 is a section view of the automatic water distillator showing the construction thereof;
FIGURE 3 is a schematic view showing the control circuits and its connections, and FIGURE ~ is a perspective view showing the level sensors connected to a reservoir.
DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS:
Referring now to the drawings there is shown generally at 10 the automatic distillator of the present invention. The distillator comprises a condensor housing 11 which is detachably secured to a main housing 12 by means of latches l3. The main housing 12 is supported on three or more, herein four, vertical legs 14 which are secured at the top end to the bottom wall 15 of the main housing 12 and interconnected by a support frame 16 spaced from the lower end thereof. A collecting reservoir 177 herein a large bottle, is supported on the support frame 16 under the bottom wall 15 of the main housing 12. The distilled water from the condensor housing 11 is directed into the reservoir 17.
As herein shown, the reservoir is provided with a tap 18 adjacent a bottom end thereof to manually remove distilled water from the reservoir. A pump 19 is also provided to automatically pump water from the reservoir 17 to feed remote dispensers (not shown).
Referring now more specifically to ~iguxe 2, there is shown the construction of the water distillator and it comprises a boiler enclosure 20 having mounted adjacent a bottom end 21 therein a resistive heating element 22. Tap water is fed to the boiler enclosure 20 via an electromagnetic valve 23 and an inlet port 24 located adjacent the bottom wall 21. A sensing electrode 25 is secured inside the boiler enclosure 20 and has an electrode tip 26 which senses the level of water 27 in the reservoir 20. r1hen the water level 27' goes below the tip 26 of the electrode 25 the electromagnetic valve 23 is operated whereby to admit a predetermined quantity of water in the reservoir. Tap water is connected to the valve 23 via the hose 28.
The resistive heating element 22 will boil the water in the enclosure 20 to produce water vapor 29 which then ~lows to an outlet port 30 provided in the bottom wall 31 of the condensor housing 11 which form the top wall of the boiler enclosure.
In order to filter out unwanted pollutant gases from the water vapor 29, there is provided a carbon~
activated filter 32 located in the outlet port 30. The outlet 33 of the fil-ter housing is connected to a cooling condensor 34 which is formed by a helical tubular coil 35 constituted by a thermally conductive metal tube having heat sink fins 36 connected to an outer surface thereof to dissipate heat from the outer surface of the metal tube.
A cooling fan 37 and fan motor 38 create a flow of air from the outside of the condensor housing 11 through a plurality of holes 39 formed in the cylindrical side wall 40 of the condensor housing 11, through the coil 35, and out through the perforated top wall 41 of the condensor housingO Thus 100 percent of the air flow passes through the coil 35 to cool the coil thus causing the water vapor flowing therein to condense to form distilled water in a minimum amount of time and occupying a minimum amount of space. As shown, the outlet 33 of the outlet of the filter 32 connects to the uppermost loop of the condensor coil whereby the condensed water will flow downwardly in the coil by gravity and fall within the reservoir 17 into which an outlet tube 42 enters to direct the distilled water.
Referring now additionally to Figures 3 and 49 it can be seen that the reservoir 17 is provided with level sensing means which is comprised of three sensing electrodes located vertically within the reservoir. m e electrode 43 is a common electrode and extends to the bottom of the reservoir. Electrode 44 is the low-level sensing electrode and when the water level within the reservoir goes below the tip 45 of the electrode 44 a signal is sent to control circuit 46 (see Figure 3) which causes the pump 19 to stop whereby to permit the distillator to accumulate distilled water in the reservoir before the pump can be activated again. In order not to overfill the reservoir a third electrode 47 is provided when the water reaches a top level within the reservoir. Also, when the level of water reaches the tip 47 T of electrode 47 the-feed of water to the boiler is stopped thus preventing overflow of distilled water within the reservoir.
~s shown in the schematic diagram of Figure 3 the control circuit 46 controls the entire operation of the water distillator. A switch 48 is connected to the control circuit 46 to place the system into three modes of operation and namely~ an automatic mode, manual mode, and an off/
drain mode. When the switch is in the automatic mode, the entire system operates automatically with precise cycles of operation. A timer circuit 49 is incorporated in the control circuit to provide for precise cycles of operation.
The connection 50 from the boiler feeds the signa~ from the sensing electrode 25 to the control circuit whereby to shutt off the controlled valve 23 to stop the feed of water to the boiler 20. The control valve 23 also has a drain port 51 whereby to automatically evacuate residual water within the reservoir 20 after a predetermined time of operation of the boiler. This prevents pollutant deposits to ~orm at the bottom of the boiler enclosure and on the resistive heating elements 22 which is an "Incaloid"
(registered trademark) element. In order to further protect the resistive heating elements 22 against over-heating, there is provided a reset detector switch 52 on the boiler enclosure 20 and a loop portion 22' of the heating element 22 is placed in contact with the boiler enclosure side wall adjacent this detector to sense the temperature thereof. The detector will feed a signal to the control circuit to stop the operation of the system should -the heating element become too hot. The control of the pump 19 is also effected through the control circuit 46 to which the level sensing electrodes 43, 44 and 47 are connected via the connecting cable 53O
The operation of the automatic water distillator will now briefly be summarized. When the apparatus is switched to the automatic mode, the heating element will boil the water within the reservoir 20 to cause water vapor to escape through an outlet port 30 on the top wall of the boiler. The water vapor is then filtered through a carbon-activated filter where pollutant gases are removed from the water vapors. These filtered water vapors are then to a helical coil of a cooling condensor to condense and form distilled water which is channeled to the reservoir 17 located under the distillator housing 12~ The collected water may then be pumped to remote locations or be extracted by a tap 18 provided in the container. The entire housing as herein constructed is very compact and the particular embodiment herein may be stored over a 12-inch surface area.
To operate the system manually, it is placed to the ON (manual) mode. After sufficient distilled water is accumu~ated the system is switched to the OFF/DRAIN modeO
to evacuate the boiler enclosure and shut off the system.
It is within the ambit of the present invention to cover any obvious modifications thereof, provided such moaifications fall within the scope of the appended claims.
Another feature of the present invention is to provide an automatic water distillator wherein the boiler enclosure is automatically evacuated to prevent the forma-tion of pollutant deposits therein.
Another feature of the present invention is to provide an automatic water distillator which is easy to install and dismantle and which requires very little maintenance and occupies a minimum amount of floor space.
According to the above features, from a broad aspect, the present invention provides an automatic water distillator comprising a boiler enclosure having a heating element therein for evaporating water.
