Abstract
An apparatus in which a developing liquid used in an electrophotographic printing machine to develop an electrostatic latent image on a photoconductive surface is reclaimed. The developing liquid is vaporized to dry the wet copy sheet. The developing liquid vapor enters the chamber of a housing and condenses on the surface of a cooling fluid as it passes therethrough. The developer liquid is immiscible in the cooling fluid and floats on the surface thereof so as to exit from the outlet port of the chamber of the housing for recirculation to the development system.
