A fluid recovery system for a laundry system (e.g., of a spacecraft) can include a main line having an inlet configured to fluidly communicate with a washing volume within an agitation chamber to receive washing fluid from the agitation chamber, a vacuum source in fluid communication with the main line to provide a partial vacuum to the inlet to cause washing fluid in the washing volume to at least partially evaporate, and a condenser disposed on the main line downstream of inlet. The condenser can be configured to receive evaporated washing fluid and to condense water in the evaporated washing fluid. The system can include a separator downstream of the condenser configured to separate water and laundry effluent gas, wherein the separator includes a water recovery output configured to output water for reuse.

Fluid recovery systems for laundry systems

A multi-waste processing system includes a processing chamber. The processing chamber includes one or more heaters and a piston, and the processing chamber is configured to evaporate liquid waste and compact solid waste input. A condenser is operably connected to the processing chamber. The condenser is configured to condense water from the evaporated liquid waste output from the processing chamber. A gas and water separator is operably connected to the condenser. The gas and water separator is configured to separate water from the evaporated liquid waste output from the processing chamber. A recirculation pathway connects the gas and water separator to the processing chamber to recirculate gas from the gas and water separator to the processing chamber. The piston is actuated to keep the one or more heaters in close proximity to the solid waste and the liquid waste in the processing chamber.
