PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a multieffect evaporator type device for production of a distilled water, capable of usually producing the distilled water as heretofore and capable of sterilizing the whole inside of the device by a high-temperature high-pressure self-generated vapor or disinfecting by a hot water when sterilizing or disinfecting by including a simple additional instrument and to provide the methods for sterilization by the vapor and for infection by the hot water.SOLUTION: The multieffect evaporator type device for production of the distilled water is provided with: a preheating unit for a supplies water a plurality of vaporators for sequentially generating a pure vapor from the preheated supplied water a vapor-liquid separator for the generated pure water a condenser for obtaining the distilled water by cooling the separated pure vapor with the supplied and cooling waters and an outside air introduction unit connected to the condenser. Further, a heater is provided between the inlet of the supplied water and the condenser, and the supplied water is fed to the condenser through the heater.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】簡単な付加的手段を備えることにより、通常は従来のように蒸留水を製造することができ、しかも滅菌時や殺菌時には装置内全体を高温高圧の自己発生蒸気で滅菌し又は熱水で殺菌することができる多重効用缶式蒸留水製造装置、その蒸気滅菌方法及び熱水殺菌方法を提供する。【解決手段】供給水の予熱手段と、予熱した供給水から純蒸気を順次発生させる複数の蒸発缶と、発生させた純蒸気の気水分離手段と、気水分離した純蒸気を供給水及び冷却水で冷却して蒸留水とするコンデンサと、コンデンサに接続された外気導入手段とを備える多重効用缶式蒸留水製造装置において、供給水入口とコンデンサとの間に更に加熱器を設け、供給水を加熱器を通してコンデンサに供給するようにした。【選択図】図1
