Supply with feed water
The steam sterilizer
requires →demineralized or →distilled
→feed water for steam production according to → DIN EN
13060. The feed water supply is provided either by an external
water storage tank or with a water treatment unit (e.g.
MELA
dem
40/ MELA
dem
47). The steam sterilizer
automatically sucks in the feed water.
Feed water with internal storage tank
If you employ the internal storage tank for the feed water
supply, you must fill it manually from time to time. At the given
point in time, the steam sterilizer outputs an appropriate
message. Only use water according to
→ DIN EN 13060 as
→feed water.
Internal storage tank
The internal storage tank holds maximum 5 litres. This
quantity of →feed water suffices for up to 7 sterilizations.
Feed water via water treatment system
A water treatment unit is connected to the domestic water
supply. It produces the →feed water required for generating
the steam for the steam sterilizer. The purified feed water
connection for the steam sterilizer is directly connected to the
water treatment unit.
If you use a water treatment unit, then there is always
sufficient feed water available. You no longer have to manually
fill the water storage tank.
The waste water can either be collected in an internal storage
tank and manually emptied or automatically drained via the
one-way drain.
Water treatment units MELAdem
40 and
MELAdem
47
The water treatment units MELA
dem
40 and MELA
dem
47
produce the optimal purified feed water quality for the steam
sterilizer. The selection of the respective unit depends on the
number of sterilizations per day and the respective loads.
Both MELAG steam sterilizers can be supplemented with a
water treatment unit.
NOTICE
Please first consult with MELAG if you would like to employ
water treatment units of other manufacturers.
