A temperature control system is essential for modern dry cleaning equipment. This system cools the solvent used in the cleaning process, typically perchloroethylene (perc) or a hydrocarbon-based alternative, preventing overheating and maintaining optimal cleaning performance. Cooling the solvent also minimizes its evaporation, reducing potential health risks and environmental impact while conserving resources. These systems come in various sizes and configurations to suit different machine models and business needs.
Maintaining a precise temperature range within the dry cleaning machine is crucial for several reasons. Stable temperatures ensure consistent cleaning results and prevent damage to delicate fabrics. Effective temperature control also plays a significant role in extending the lifespan of the solvent and the equipment itself. Historically, solvent recovery and temperature regulation were separate processes. Modern systems integrate these functions, resulting in more efficient and environmentally responsible operations.
