Vacuum
Leak
Test
Troubleshooting
Guide
Air
leaks
into
the
sterilizer
can
be
problematic
since
the
purpose
of
a
dynamic
air
removal
sterilizer
(i.e.,
pre
‐
vacuum
sterilizer)
is
to
remove
the
air
to
enable
more
effective
sterilization.
Vacuum
leaks
are
often
difficult
to
diagnose
since
a
small
vacuum
leak
might
not
be
visible
with
steam
under
pressure.
If
the
P2131
sterilizer
fails
a
Vacuum
Leak
Test,
the
following
Vacuum
Leak
Troubleshooting
Guide
should
be
used
by
a
qualified
maintenance
technician
to
help
find
the
root
cause
of
the
vacuum
leak.
The
source
of
the
vacuum
is
the
water
eductor
that
is
located
inside
the
WRS.
Water
flowing
through
an
internal
tapered
nozzle
uses
the
Venturi
effect
to
create
a
drop
in
pressure
at
the
tip
of
the
nozzle.
This
pressure
drop
creates
the
source
of
vacuum
for
the
SMU
chamber.
The
green
highlighted
areas
of
the
Process
Flow
Diagram
in
Section
4.6
show
the
parts
of
the
system
that
experience
vacuum
during
the
conditioning
phase
(pre
‐
vacuum
pulses)
and
the
drying
phase.
Using
this
diagram
in
conjunction
with
the
Vacuum
Leak
Troubleshooting
Guide
should
help
the
maintenance
technician
diagnose
and
correct
the
source
of
the
vacuum
leak.
Please

guide
