Abstract:
A vapor capture subsystem, comprising:an absorbing means for absorbing a carrier solvent in a developing material that is developed on the surface of an organic photoconductor belt by a developer;a vaporizing means for vaporizing said carrier solvent absorbed at said absorbing means into a vapor;a cooling means which captures said carrier solvent vaporized by said vaporizing means and makes said vaporized carrier solvent liquid by cooling;tube components which lead said carrier solvent vaporized by said vaporizing means to said cooling means;a sucking means which leads said carrier solvent vaporized by said vaporizing means to said cooling means; anda covering component which covers one end side of said absorbing means and said vaporizing means in order that said vapor generated by said vaporizing means does not leak to the outside,wherein a drying temperature of said vaporizing means is made to be 85.degree. C. or more, and an air sucking quantity of said sucking means is 22 to 45 liters/minute.
