Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and a method for dry-cleaning an article by using a siloxane compound. SOLUTION: This system 5 includes a cleaning basket 10 for receiving the article inside and one or more tanks 14 and 16 for storing the siloxane compound. A pump 12 for soaking the article in the cleaning basket by a siloxane solvent, is connected between the tanks and the cleaning basket. A distiller 24 for distilling the dirty siloxane solvent, is included for recovering a pure siloxane solvent. A condenser 26 is connected to the cleaning basket and/or the distiller for recovering condensed steam. A separator 28 is connected to the condenser for transferring the whole moisture in the siloxane solvent received from the condenser. A fan 32 is connected to the cleaning basket for circulating air to the cleaning basket so as to dry and cool the article by the air passing through a heating coil 34. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
