摘要： A system and method are provided for dry cleaning articles utilizing a siloxane solvent. The system (5) includes a cleaning basket (10) for receiving articles therein and one or more tanks (14, 16) for containing a siloxane solvent. Coupled between the tank and the cleaning basket is a pump (12) for immersing the articles in the cleaning basket with the siloxane solvent. Also included is a still (24) for distilling the dirty siloxane solvent to recover the pure siloxane solvent. A condenser (26) is coupled to the cleaning basket and/or the still for recovering condensed vapors. For decanting any water in the siloxane solvent received from the condenser, a separator (28) is coupled to the condenser. A fan (32) is coupled to the cleaning basket for circulating air past the condenser, then the heater coils (34) and into the cleaning basket for drying and cooling the articles.

摘要： A system and method are provided for separating water from solvent during dry cleaning. Included is an inlet (52) capable of receiving a mixture of dry cleaning fluid and water from a basket of a dry cleaning apparatus. The dry cleaning fluid includes a siloxane composition. Also provided is a flow controller (60) for urging flow of the mixture received from the outlet. Coupled to the flow controller (60) is a coalescent media (64) that receives the mixture urged by the flow controller (60). A chamber (68) is coupled to the coalescent media (64) for receiving the mixture from the coalescent media (64) to separate the water and the dry cleaning fluid. Also coupled to the chamber (68) is an outlet (69) to remove the dry cleaning fluid from the chamber (68) in the absence of water.
