11. Steam Generator, Check Valve, Thermal Fuse and Pressure Relief Valve
Upgraded 2nd generation Alex steam generator (Boris)
NOTE: This version still operates using Rev. 5.x/6.x software.
In mid 2008, SciCan implemented an O-ring seal design to seal the
joint between the cap and base of the boiler assembly to improve
the manufacturability of the steam generator assembly. The main
difference with regard to servicing is that the cap and base can be
rotated slightly relative to each other when the boiler assembly is not
mounted in the machine. This new seal system does not affect the
performance of the sterilizer in any way.
When STATIM steam generator spare part kits are assembled at the
factory, they are wrapped and packaged such that the relationship
between cap and base will be maintained. If this relationship is
inadvertently changed, it can be returned to the correct position by
rotating the cap relative to the base. This should be done such that the
vertical marks on the boiler base and the boiler cap line up as defined
at the factory (see picture) and the gap from the cap to the base is
between 1mm (1/32”) and 2mm (1/16”).
Replacing 1st generation and
stainless steel steam generators
• These two steam generator types are no longer produced and can
ONLY be upgraded with an Alex derived steam generator.
• The upgrade may vary from a complete steam generator and PCB replacement to a steam
generator and microprocessor replacement (with or without adaptor boards as appropriate)
depending on the model and age of the unit.
• All units factory fitted with, or upgraded to Alex type steam generators will only need a
steam generator replacement.
