Abstract: The invention regards a system and method for dry cleaning articles, the system comprising a cleaning basket (10) for receiving the articles, a tank (14, 16) containing a solvent, a pump (12) coupled between the tank (14, 16) and the cleaning basket (10) for introducing solvent into the cleaning basket, either a still for distilling the solvent or a Kleen Rite TM cartridge filter system, a fan (32) coupled to the cleaning basket (10) for circulating air past a heater (34) and into the cleaning basket (10) for drying the articles, a condenser (36) coupled to the cleaning basket (10) and producing a condensed mixture of water and solvent; and a separator (28) coupled to the condenser (36) for separating water in the condensed mixture from solvent in the condensed mixture. According to the invention the solvent is a siloxane solvent, the separator (28) separates water in the condensed mixture from siloxane solvent in the condensed mixture via gravity, and at least one coalescent medium (56, 64) is provided that is coupled to or located inside the separator (28).

Abstract: A system and method are provided for separating water from a solvent during dry cleaning. Included is an inlet 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 for urging a flow of the mixture received from the outlet. Coupled to the flow controller is a coalescent media that receives the mixture urged by the flow controller. A chamber is coupled to the coalescent media for receiving the mixture from the coalescent media to separate the water and the dry cleaning fluid. Also coupled to the chamber is an outlet to remove the dry cleaning fluid from the chamber in the absence of the water.
