DEVELOPING LIQUID RECOVERY DEVICE IN A COPYING MACHINE

摘要

In a copying machine, especially of the liquid development type, a developing liquid recovery device includes heating means for heating wet-developed copy mediums to dry and fix them with developing liquid vapor produced from the copy mediums. Condenser means is provided for cooling the developing liquid vapor by means of a heat exchanger to thereby form the vapor into mist. Mist collector means for electrically charging the mist-like developing liquid vapor collects the vapor in an electric field. Circulating means is provided for circulating an air flow through the heating means, the condenser means and the mist collector means in succession.
