METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DRY CHEMICAL CLEANING OF ARTICLES WITH THE USE OF SILOXANE SOLVENT (VERSIONS)

摘要

FIELD: method and equipment for dry chemical cleaning of articles through utilization of siloxane solvents. ^ SUBSTANCE: apparatus has cleaning drum for receiving of articles and at least one tank containing siloxane solvent. Pump for dipping of articles into drum containing siloxane solvent is connected between tank and cleaning drum. Distiller is used for distilling of contaminated siloxane solvent in order to provide pure siloxane solvent. Condenser is connected to cleaning drum and/or distiller for regeneration of condensed vapors. Separator is connected to condenser for separating water from siloxane solvent, said separation of water from siloxane solvent in condensed mixture is provided by gravity. Fan is connected to cleaning drum for circulating air along condenser and heating spirals into cleaning drum for drying and cooling of articles. ^ EFFECT: increased efficiency in cleaning of articles, and improved ecology control owing to utilization of siloxane solvent harmless for human health and for environment. ^ 23 cl, 4 dwg
