4.6 Program 6 (6-Liquid + Cool) – option on ELVC only
For materials when the manufacturer recommends sterilization to
temperatures of 121ºC with no drying cycle.
Nominal Parameters
Sterilization temperature: 121ºC (250ºF).
Sterilization time: 30 mins.
Operations Sequence
Heating phase; the water enters the chamber and heats up until the
sterilization temperature is reached.
Sterilization phase; temperature is maintained constant at the
preset level for the sterilization time.
Forced cooling, to minimize the pressure difference between the
bottle with the liquid and chamber. This is done by supplying
compressed air into the chamber. The temperature decreases to
85°C and the pressure decreases until it is close to atmospheric
pressure. The forced cooling shortens the cooling stage
significantly.
Slow exhaust phase (Ex. Mode=6); until the pressure equals the
atmospheric pressure.
