•
Sterilization time: 15 minutes.
Operations sequence:
•
(PV, pre-vacuum models only) Pulse low/Pulse high:
at one pulse
it will build vacuum down to 25 kPa.
•
Heating:
Steam enters the chamber and heats it up until the
sterilization temperature is reached.
•
Sterilization:
Sterilization temperature is maintained constant during
the sterilization time.
•
Slow Exhaust:
Steam is exhausted from the chamber at a slow rate,
until chamber temperature reaches 105
C.
•
Cooling:
Forced cooling to the required end temperature, chamber
pressure remains at approx. 140kPa, and the cooling valve is opened.
•
Fast Exhaust:
The steam is exhausted out of the chamber at a fast
rate until pressure decreases to ambient pressure.
•
Drying:
N/A
•
Ending:
The system checks that End temperature and End pressure
have been reached, and then releases the door.
