<p>The invention is directed to process and apparatus for automatically restoring to usefulness spent cleaning and/or drying liquids comprising an aqueous phase and an oil phase, the latter comprising 1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane, as the principal component, and a surfactant, said process and apparatus characterized in that electrical conductometric means, liquid level sensing means and time programmed means cooperate and automatically direct separation and removal means in the separation and removal of the aqueous phase from the oil phase, said process further characterized in that, optionally, at least one of the group consisting of 1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane, surfactant and water is added to the oil phase, the amount of water added being insufficient to produce an aqueous phase, to restore the oil phase to usefulness as a cleaning and/or drying liquid.</p> |
