Feed water supply
Steam sterilizer requires the use of distilled or demineralized water, known as feed water. Annex C of
EN13060 specifies the guideline values to be observed.
The steam sterilizer requires c. 3 l feed water for the first filling of the steam generator.
The feed water supply is effected either via the internal feed water tank or via a separate water treatment
unit (e.g. MELAdem40 / MELAdem47). The used feed water, so called waste water is either collected in
the internal storage tank on the waste water side (left) and emptied manually or disposed of automatically
via a building-side waste water connection.
NOTICE
When connecting an external feed water supply it is necessary to connect an external
wastewater outflow as well.
There is a risk that hot wastewater might run through the emergency overflow.
