A glass water distillation apparatus purifies water by boiling it into steam and condensing it back into a liquid. Essential for laboratories, it removes heavy metals, pyrogens, and dissolved solids. Standard units use 3.3 borosilicate glass and quartz heaters to prevent chemical leaching.
- Boiling Chamber: Holds the source water and houses the heating element.
- Heating Element: Typically a quartz, silica-sheathed, or chromium-plated metal heater.
- Condenser: Cools the hot vapors back into a liquid (distillate) using a circulating cold-water jacket.
- Collection Flask / Outlet: Receives the purified, pyrogen-free water.
