摘要:
The invention relates to a non-aqueous washing machine, methods of using the machine, methods of washing, and recycling and modular components and subsystems thereof.
摘要:
A non-aqueous laundering machine for laundering fabric with a non-aqueous wash liquor and a select rinse fluid. The non-aqueous laundering machine includes a container for a fabric load and means for the controlled application of a non-aqueous wash liquor to the fabric load, the removal of part of the non-aqueous wash liquor from the fabric load, and application of a select rinse fluid to the fabric load as well as means for applying mechanical energy to the fabric load.
摘要:
Methods of laundering fabric with a wash fluid and rinse fluid and methods of recovery of the wash fluid and rinse fluid by selecting rinse wash fluids and rinse fluid with select properties that facilitate removal of the fluids from the fabric and separation of the fluids from each other while providing adequate laundering characteristics.
摘要:
Methods of laundering fabric having the steps of applying a non-aqueous working fluid to fabric, removing a portion of the non-aqueous working fluid from the fabric, and then applying a select rinse fluid to the fabric. The method may be performed in a batch-type laundry apparatus and may include the steps of recovering and storing for reuse the non-aqueous working fluid and the select rinse fluid.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for laundering including the steps of adding a wash liquor including an aqueous working fluid to a fabric load, processing the fabric load with the wash liquor to treat the fabric load, measuring the concentration of at least one non-aqueous fluid in the wash liquor, maintaining the concentration of the non-aqueous fluid below a predetermined acceptable level, and disposing of the wash liquor are disclosed as well as novel fluid plumbing for a laundering device using wash liquors including non-aqueous fluids.
摘要:
A method and apparatus of laundering a fabric load is disclosed including the steps of processing a fabric load in an aqueous-based working fluid, substantially replacing the aqueous-based working fluid with a non-aqueous working fluid of the type which extracts some of the aqueous-based working fluid from the fabric load.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for laundering a fabric load including the steps of contacting the fabric load with a semi-aqueous working fluid comprising a non-aqueous working fluid in which a predetermined amount of an aqueous-working fluid is present, substantially replacing said semi-aqueous working fluid with a non-aqueous working fluid in which said first mentioned non-aqueous working fluid is miscible; and drying the fabric load.
