ABSTRACT:
Distillation apparatus is disclosed which operates according to the so-called thermocompressor principle and comprises a housing in which a boiling chamber is situated to accommodate the liquid to be distilled, a heating device for heating the liquid to be distilled in the boiling chamber, a feed line for conducting the liquid to be distilled into the boiling chamber, an output line for removing the distillate from the distillation apparatus, and apparatus for imparting additional energy to the vapor that is produced from the liquid to be distilled in the boiling chamber such that the temperature of the vapor on the output side of the energy imparting apparatus is increased. According to the invention, at least one heat exchange tube is provided within the distillation apparatus through which a mixture composed of the liquid to be distilled and of the vapor produced therefrom is adapted to flow. A droplet separator is provided which defines a gush or overflow gap between it and the boiling chamber and through which the liquid-vapor mixture discharging from the heat exchange tube flows whereupon the vapor flows through the droplet separator to the apparatus for imparting additional energy thereto and which is constituted by a blower disposed within the distillation apparatus. Preferably, the heat exchange tubes are disposed around the boiling chamber and extend through a vapor condensation chamber.
