To provide a water vapor distillation system.SOLUTION: The system includes a water vapor distillation device configured to receive a volume of source water from a fluid source and produce distillate. The device comprises: a concentrate flow path comprising a concentrate output; a distillate flow path comprising a distillate output; at least one source proportioning valve; a first heat exchanger comprising at least a portion of the distillate flow path; a second heat exchanger including at least a portion of the concentrate flow path, in which the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger are in fluid flow communication with the fluid source; a distillate sensor assembly which is in communication with the distillate flow path and located downstream of the first heat exchanger, and configured to generate a distillate temperature measurement value; and a controller configured to control the source proportioning valves.SELECTED DRAWING: None 【課題】水蒸気蒸留システムの提供。【解決手段】本システムは、ある体積の源水を流体源から受容し、蒸留物を生産するように構成される、水蒸気蒸留デバイスを含み、本デバイスは、濃縮物出力を備える、濃縮物流動経路と、蒸留物出力を備える、蒸留物流動経路と、少なくとも１つの源定比弁と、蒸留物流動経路の少なくとも一部を備える、第１の熱交換器と、濃縮物流動経路の少なくとも一部を含む、第２の熱交換器であって、第１の熱交換器および第２の熱交換器は、流体源と流体流動連通する、第２の熱交換器と、蒸留物流動経路と連通し、第１の熱交換器の下流に位置する、蒸留物センサアセンブリであって、蒸留物センサアセンブリは、蒸留物温度測定値を発生させるように構成される、蒸留物センサアセンブリと、源定比弁を制御するように構成される、コントローラとを備える。【選択図】なし
