DRY CLEANING APPARATUS

摘要

An air vent pipe (52) is connected to a halfway part in a mixed liquid conduit (51) for guiding a mixed liquid (solvent + water) from an airway for condensing and liquefying a vaporized solvent discharged from the laundry within a drum during drying, to a first storage tank (50), whereby air, which has entered from an air passage, is allowed to escape to the outside of the apparatus through an activated carbon filter (53). An outlet end (51a) in the mixed liquid conduit (51) is immersed in a solvent in the upper layer within the first liquid storage tank (50) to further facilitate the flow of air to the air vent pipe (5) side by the liquid pressure. According to this construction, the influence of wind pressure by air fed from the airway within the first liquid storage tank (50), and a vertical change in the interface by the wind pressure can be suppressed. Thus, unfavorable phenomena such as the adherence of garbage collected around the interface to a filter, or discharge of the solvent can be prevented.
