The present disclosure provides a drying chamber (condenser) including a container having a steam intake opening, the condenser liquefying steam taken from the steam intake opening into the container, and the drying chamber including a cooling pipe which is disposed in the container and through which coolant circulates.

The present invention provides a method for cleaning fabric articles which comprises the steps of: washing the fabric articles with a cleaning solvent in a rotatable drum; rotating the drum at a high spin speed for a high spin period of time after the performance of said washing step; and heating the fabric articles for at least a period of time during the performance of said rotating step. During the heating step, at least some of the cleaning solvent is removed from the fabric articles in both liquid and vapor phases. Heating the fabric articles decreases attractive forces between the liquid phase cleaning solvent and the fabric articles, facilitating the separation and hence removal of additional quantities of the cleaning solvent from the fabric articles.

The present disclosure provides a drying chamber (condenser) including a container having a steam intake opening, the condenser liquefying steam taken from the steam intake opening into the container, and the drying chamber including a cooling pipe which is disposed in the container and through which coolant circulates.

A laundry treating apparatus includes a casing, a tub provided in the casing (10), and a rotatable drum (20) provided in the tub. The laundry treating apparatus also includes a water supply part provided in the casing to supply water to the rotatable drum and a solvent supply part supplying dry-cleaning solvent to the rotatable drum. The laundry treating apparatus further includes a condensation device that condenses a gaseous portion of the solvent into a liquid form and supplies the solvent in the liquid form to the solvent supply part.

A washing machine may include: a washing tub having a first opening and a second opening; a pump; and a chiller; wherein a first flow path connects the second opening, the pump, the chiller, and the first opening so that pumping by the pump moves carbon dioxide from inside the washing tub through the second opening along the first flow path to pass through the pump, then along the first flow path to pass through the chiller so as to be cooled by the chiller, and then along the first flow path to pass through the first opening to be returned to the washing tub.
