A vapor compression distilling device (10) includes a first chamber (30) adapted to contain liquid (32) to be distilled. A compressor (70) is interconnected to the first chamber (30) for withdrawing vapor from the liquid (32) in the first chamber (30). The compressor (70) also functions to compress the vapor. A second chamber (12) is adapted to receive the compressed vapor from the compressor (70) such that the compressed vapor is condensed in the second chamber (12) into a liquid condensate. A device (16) is disposed in the second chamber (12) for boiling, concentrating and circulating the liquid (32) to be distilled. The device (16) is provided with circulating flow connections (18, 36) to the first chamber (30) and extends into the second chamber (12), such that the exterior of the device (16) is exposed to the compressed vapor generated by the compressor (70). Structure (44, 46) is provided for interconnecting the first chamber (30) and the second chamber (12) for selectively removing the device (16) from the second chamber (12).
