5.12 Optional Electric
Steam Generator
If a building steam source is not available, the sterilizer may be
equipped with an electric steam generator. The generator
automatically converts water to steam using electric heat.
Electrically-heated steam created is then used to charge the
sterilizer chamber.
All integral steam generators are equipped with an automatic flush
and drain mechanism. Steam generators are highly susceptible to
mineral scaling if the supplied water has any level of hardness. Refer
to
Section 7.5.4, Steam Generator Flush and Drain Set Up on page
for water quality requirements and to set the time of day and
duration for the integral generator flush cycle.
Important:
Regardless of the hardness level of supplied water, the
generator must be flushed every day before use to prevent mineral
scaling or carryover of debris into the chamber.
ATTENTION:
Warranty on this steam generator will be voided unless
daily flushing procedures are performed.
Daily Generator Flush Cycle
The generator flush cycle is automatic and occurs as scheduled by
the sterilizer operator using the procedure in
Generator Flush and Drain Set Up on page 7-20
The sterilizer initiates a flush of the generator’s boiler at the time
scheduled during set up.
DEPRESSURIZE – The generator depressurizes and cools.
Important:
The depressurization phase requires several minutes
to complete.
