Claims17
An assembly for recycling a solvent from a contaminated solvent solution comprising:
- a recycler module including a distillation assembly and an air handler assembly;
- the distillation assembly including a distiller and a conduit connected to the distiller and adapted for connection to a source of the contaminated solvent solution;
- the conduit including a condenser and a sight glass;
- the air handler assembly including a duct having an intake port, an exhaust port and a source of air flow connected to the duct;
- wherein the condenser is disposed within the duct and the sight glass is disposed external to the duct, wherein the conduit includes, in series, a first portion adjacent the distiller that is disposed within the duct, a second portion that is disposed external to the duct and a third portion that defines the condenser.
