remains unused for longer than this maximum period, microorganisms will multiply and residue will collect in
the feed water — which will cause fouling and damage to the autoclave.
In all events, the following must be observed: When connecting a water-treatment system, the overflow must
be installed. The user must in such a manner ensure — in the event of malfunction (for example, the water-
level switchoff system in the water storage tank does not function properly) — that the infeed water running
into the unit will be safely drained out of the autoclave. The following actions are necessary:
The overflow tube overflow drain tube must be installed so as to pass
continuously downward
,
without any upward curve
The user must install flow nozzles — especially important for water-treatment systems which operate
under water pressure (pressurized systems)
After installing the overflow drain system, the user must test the setup to ensure that the overflow
drain actually functions properly. This is performed by blocking the float switch in the water storage
tank.
