Abstract: 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.

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.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for separating water from a solvent in a dr y cleaning application. According to the invention, an inlet is capable of receiving a mixture of silicone-based dry cleaning fluid and water from a condenser of a dry cleaning apparatus. A chamber is coupled to the inlet for receiving the mixture from the inlet. A porous structure is positioned in th e chamber for separating the dry cleaning fluid and the water. The dry cleanin g fluid passes through pores in the porous structure. An outlet is coupled to the chamber to remove the dry cleaning fluid from the chamber in the substantial absence of the water. A system for cleaning articles comprised o f circulating siloxane solvent through a basket, draining the basket into tank s, centrifuging the articles and then drying the articles and recovering the siloxane solvent, and then cooling the said articles and removing said articles. In addition, the ability to remove articles after centrifuging and transfer the articles to a recovery drier allows for greater efficiency.
