Item Designation
Explanation
1
Osmosis module
Represents the core of the reverse osmosis unit. The RO membrane
separates the cold water into two flows: the permeate (pure water)
and concentrate (waste water).
2
Connection for
concentrate line
(Ø 6/4 mm)
The concentrate is fed into the effluent systems by the waste water
line over the steam sterilizer.
3
Cold water connection
(Ø 8/6 mm)
The reverse osmosis unit is supplied with cold water (cold water) from
the steam sterilizer via the cold water line.
4
Pressure tank
The permeate is collected here. The steam sterilizer is supplied with
feed water from the pressure tank.
5
Conduit
Duct for the concentrate line and cold water lines.
6
Ion exchanger
Performs the demineralization of the water from the osmosis module.
7
Activated carbon filter
Removes free chlorine, which can destroy the membrane of the
reverse osmosis unit.
8
Pre-filter
Protects the sensitive reverse osmosis membrane.
The pre-filter filter holds back all particulate material, rust and other
soiling.
9
Recessed grip
Acts as a carry aid for transport purposes.
10
Permeate line
(6/4 mm)
The permeate line leads from the ion exchanger to the pressure tank.
11
Shut-off valve
For closing the pressure tank.
12
Manometer
Displays the current feed water pressure in the pressure tank.
13
Pressure switch
Controls the current flow to the pump, prevents e.g. too high a
pressure increase in the pressure tank.
14
Inflow filter
Filters the water to protect the pump.
15
Power connector
Supplies the power supply with current.
16
Power supply
Supplies the pump with current.
17
Pump
Generates the necessary water pressure.
18
Connection for feed water
hose to the steam
sterilizer (Ø 10/8 mm)
Supplies the steam sterilizer with feed water from the pressure tank.
19
Valve
For measuring and setting the primary pressure in the pressure tank.
PLEASE NOTE
The corresponding connections are located at the underside of the
Cliniclave 45 M/Cliniclave 45 MD.
