ABSTRACT:
System and method for improved solvent recovery in a dry cleaning device includes a washer drum, a cleaning basket disposed in the washer drum and configured to receive articles and a solvent based cleaning fluid, a working tank configured to receive the solvent based cleaning fluid used in the washer drum and cleaning basket, an air management mechanism configured to drain cleaning fluid condensate produced from the washer drum and cleaning basket directly into the working tank, and a low mixing pump configured to pump the solvent based cleaning fluid from the cleaning basket to the working tank, the low mixing pump characterized by a Reynolds number of about 15,000 or less, wherein the Reynolds number is determined as a function of one or more properties associated with an impeller of the low mixing pump.
