Combined distillation apparatus and hot liquid system

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5912817
A combined distillation apparatus and hot liquid system having a hot liquid heater connected to a cold liquid storage tank and in which the distilled liquid delivers its heat to the cold incoming liquid within the cold liquid storage tank so that the cold incoming liquid is preheated for subsequent delivery to the hot liquid heater. A heat dissipation coil located within or closely adjacent to the cold liquid storage tank has a first coil being filled with a coolant, which is the cold incoming liquid captured from the cold liquid storage tank, and a second coil being filled with the distilled liquid so that the distilled liquid may be cooled before re-entering the condenser and mixing with the steam and vapor entering the condenser.
