Abstract
The invention is directed to a device for removing water from the solvent recovery system of a fast printer. Water recovered in the solvent recovery system from solvent vapor and water vapor is passed into the open air outside of the printer frame without generating damage due to water corrosion within the printer. Recovered water is passed from a discharge pipe to an evaporation chamber containing either a heated evaporator container or to a unheated trough containing upstanding absorbent mats which suck the recovered water up into an open air space above the trough. A stream of dry warm air is generated by blowers within the printer and passes through the evaporation chamber picking up water vapor. The vapor-air mixture produced in the evaporation chamber then passes through slots formed in the printer assembly frame directly into the open air.
