1. A fluid vapor distillation system comprising:

  • a source fluid input;

    an evaporator condenser apparatus comprising;

    a housing; and

    a plurality of tubes in said housing,whereby said source fluid input is fluidly connected to said evaporator condenser and said evaporator condenser transforms source fluid into steam and transforms compressed steam into product fluid;

    a heat exchanger fluidly connected to said source fluid input and a product fluid output, said heat exchanger comprising;

    an outer tube; and

    at least one inner tube;

    wherein said heat exchanger further comprising two ends, and at each end a connector is attached, whereby said connectors form a connection to the evaporator condenser;

    a regenerative blower fluidly connected to said evaporator condenser, whereby said regenerative blower compresses steam, and whereby the compressed steam flows to the evaporative condenser where compressed steam is transformed into product fluid; and

    a control system for controlling said fluid vapor distillation apparatus comprising;

    a blow down controller programmed to control a blow down valve;

    a source flow controller programmed to control a source flow valve; and

    a blow down level sensor in communication with a blow down controller and a source flow controller, said blow down level sensor sends signals related to said blow down level to said blow down controller and said source flow controller indicative of said blow down level,wherein said source flow controller is programmed to actuate said source flow valve based at least on said blow down level sensor signals, andwherein said blow down controller is programmed to actuate said blow down valve based at least on said blow down level sensor signals,whereby said blow down level and said source flow are maintained using said blow down level sensor signals as input.
