Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A solvent reclamation apparatus for use in sorption type solvent cleaning units has a blower pumping a source of heated solvent vapor through and around the sorption bed. The heated vapor vaporizes entrapped solvent from the bed, saturating or partially saturating the heated vapor. The saturated or partially saturated heated vapor is removed from the sorption bed and conducted to a condensing vessel which is denied to prevent induction of surrounding air. A cooling coil in the condensing vessel cools and condenses at least a portion of the saturated vapor. The uncondensed portion is then recycled through the blower and heater back into the sorption bed to recover additional solvent.
