Model of a Salt-Water Distiller, Model of a distillation apparatus for obtaining drinking water from seawater, placed in the cross section of a ship, on a floorboard. On either side against the ship's wall a condenser is placed above a water box, the condensers have an inlet and outlet through the ship's wall. A pipe system carries the water to a vertical, cylindrical steam boiler in the middle. The pipes are interrupted where they run to other parts of the ship, so that the exact course of the water cannot be reconstructed. The condensers are of the Grant type. 1:10 scale (scale on model
