Cleaning system utilizing an organic cleaning solvent and a pressurized fluid solvent

A cleaning system that utilizes an organic cleaning solvent and pressurized fluid solvent is disclosed. The system has no conventional evaporative hot air drying cycle. Instead, the system utilizes the solubility of the organic solvent in pressurized fluid solvent as well as the physical properties of pressurized fluid solvent. After an organic solvent cleaning cycle, the solvent is extracted from the textiles at high speed in a rotating drum in the same way conventional solvents are extracted from textiles in conventional evaporative hot air dry cleaning machines. Instead of proceeding to a conventional drying cycle, the extracted textiles are then immersed in pressurized fluid solvent to extract the residual organic solvent from the textiles. This is possible because the organic solvent is soluble in pressurized fluid solvent. After the textiles are immersed in pressurized fluid solvent, pressurized fluid solvent is pumped from the drum. Finally, the drum is de-pressurized to atmospheric pressure to evaporate any remaining pressurized fluid solvent, yielding clean, solvent free textiles. The organic solvent is preferably dipropylene glycol n-butyl ether, tripropylene glycol n-butyl ether or tripropylene glycol methyl ether, a mixture thereof, or a similar solvent and the pressurized fluid solvent is preferably densified carbon dioxide.

The organic solvent is preferably selected from terpenes, halohydrocarbons, certain glycol ethers, polyols, ethers, esters of glycol ethers, esters of fatty acids and other long chain carboxylic acids, fatty alcohols and other long-chain alcohols, short-chain alcohols, polar aprotic solvents, siloxanes, hydrofluoroethers, dibasic esters, and aliphatic hydrocarbons solvents or similar solvents or mixtures of such solvents and the pressurized fluid solvent is preferably densified carbon dioxide.

Cleaning System Utilizing an Organic Cleaning Solvent and a Pressurized Fluid Solvent

A cleaning system that utilizes an organic cleaning solvent and pressurized fluid solvent is disclosed. The system has no conventional evaporative hot air drying cycle. Instead, the system utilizes the solubility of the organic solvent in pressurized fluid solvent as well as the physical properties of pressurized fluid solvent.

A cleaning system that utilizes an organic cleaning solvent and pressurized fluid solvent is disclosed. The system has no conventional evaporative hot air drying cycle. Instead, the system utilizes the solubility of the organic solvent in pressurized fluid solvent as well as the physical properties of pressurized fluid solvent. After an organic solvent cleaning cycle, the solvent is extracted from the textiles at high speed in a rotating drum in the same way conventional solvents are extracted from textiles in conventional evaporative hot air dry cleaning machines. Instead of proceeding to a conventional drying cycle, the extracted textiles are then immersed in pressurized fluid solvent to extract the residual organic solvent from the textiles.

Method and apparatus for cleaning

유기규소계 세정제나 이소파라핀계 세정제등으로 이루어지는 기초세정제에 세정성능 향상제로서 계면활성제나 친수성용제를 첨가배합한 세정제로 피세정물을 세정한다. To-be-cleaned object is wash | cleaned with the detergent which added surfactant and a hydrophilic solvent as a washing | cleaning performance improvement agent to the basic detergent which consists of an organosilicon detergent, an isoparaffinic detergent, etc. 이 제1세정공정을 거친 피세정물을 상기 기초세정제로 세척 세정한다. The to-be-cleaned object which passed this 1st washing process is wash-washed with the said basic detergent. 이후 온풍건조나 증기건조에 의해 건조마무리를 한다. After that, the drying finish by hot air drying or steam drying. 기초세정제는 회수, 재이용할 수 있기 때문에 복수의 세정제를 사용할 경우에 경제성이 향상된다. Since the basic cleaning agent can be recovered and reused, economical efficiency is improved when a plurality of cleaning agents are used. 또 유기규소계 세정제나 이소파라핀계 세정제에 계면활성제나 친수성용제를 첨가배합한 세정제를 사용하고 있기때문에 플론계에 필적하는 탈지세정성이나 수분제거성, 환경에 대한 안정성을 얻을 수 있다. In addition, since an organic silicon-based cleaner or an isoparaffin-based cleaner is used in combination with a surfactant or a hydrophilic solvent, degreasing cleaning, water removal, and environmental stability comparable to those of the flon system can be obtained.
