Abstract
A condenser assembly comprises: a main cabinet; one or more filters mounted to a filter frame that is moveable between a first (operating) position within the main cabinet and a second (maintenance) position substantially outside of the main cabinet; and a condenser box that is moveable between a first (operating) position within the main cabinet and a second (maintenance) position substantially outside of the main cabinet. In some applications, the condenser assembly is part of an apparatus for removing liquid from a suspension.

A condenser assembly, comprising:
- a main cabinet;
- one or more filters mounted to a filter frame that is moveable between a first position within the main cabinet and a second position substantially outside of the main cabinet;
- and
- a condenser box that is moveable between a first position within the main cabinet and a second position substantially outside of the main cabinet;
- wherein, when the filter frame is in the first position, the filter frame is positioned within a first interior cavity defined by the main cabinet, and when the condenser box is in the first position, the condenser box is positioned within a second interior cavity defined by the main cabinet;
- and
- wherein the filter frame includes a plurality of wheels, and the main cabinet includes a lower filter guide track located within the first interior cavity of the main cabinet and configured to engage the plurality of wheels on the filter frame, thus facilitating movement of the filter frame between the first position and the second position.

2 more elements
An apparatus for removing liquid from a suspension, comprising:
- one or more drying chambers;
- a conveyor system transporting the suspension through the one or more drying chambers, including a semi-permeable conveyor belt;
- a blower injecting compressed air into the one or more drying chambers;
- a vacuum means drawing saturated air out of each of the one or more drying chambers, thus creating a pressure differential that causes rapid expansion and acceleration of the air as it passes through the suspension in the one or more drying chambers;
- and
- a condenser assembly receiving the saturated air from the vacuum means, cooling the saturated air, and collecting liquid from the saturated air, the condenser assembly including a main cabinet, one or more filters mounted to a filter frame that is moveable between a first position within the main cabinet and a second position substantially outside of the main cabinet, and a condenser box that is moveable between a first position within the main cabinet and a second position substantially outside of the main cabinet.
