•
Sterilization:
Sterilization temperature is maintained constant during
the sterilization time.
•
Cooling:
Forced cooling to the required end temperature, chamber
pressure remains at approx. 300 kPa and the cooling valve is opened.
During the interval of the cooling stage, between 121°C and
100°C the cooling rate is kept to approximately a decrease of 1
degree per minute. This will make the last stage of the cooling
take approximately 21 minutes. This is to check the durability of
the bottles.
•
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.
