Operations Sequence
•
(PV, pre-vacuum models only)
Pulse low/Pulse high:
at one pulse it
will build vacuum down to 25 kPa.
•
Water Inlet:
Water enters the chamber
•
Heating:
The chamber is heated by actuation of electrical heaters
until the sterilization temperature is reached.
•
Sterilization:
Sterilization temperature is maintained constant during
the sterilization time.
•
Cooling:
N/A
•
Slow Exhaust:
Steam is exhausted from the chamber at a slow rate,
until it reaches the pressure of 30 kPa above the ambient pressure.
Then 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.

–
Waste
For liquids when the manufacturer recommends autoclaving at
temperatures of 121
C (250
F) for 30 minutes, such as liquid waste.
Cautions!
Both PT100 temperature sensors must be inside the bottles.
For proper sterilization, fill the bottles with approximately the
same amount of liquid.
