Tuttnauer 3840 ELVG-D - Program 17: Glass Test

Page 45
 Heating: Air enters the chamber followed by steam that heats it
up until the sterilization temperature is reached. Air adds
pressure needed to prevent swelling or warping of soft plastic
items. Chamber fan is used to mix air with steam.
 Sterilization: Sterilization is controlled in a way that the
sterilization pressure remains approx. 30% above the theoretical
pressure corresponding to the same temperature according to the
steam table.
 Cooling: Forced cooling to the required end temperature,
chamber pressure remains at approx. 300 kPa and the cooling
valve is opened.
 Fast Exhaust: The 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.
5.17 Program 17: Glass Test
This cycle is intended to check the durability of the bottles for
liquids when the manufacturer recommends autoclaving at
temperatures of 121ºC (250F) for 20 minutes.
Cautions!
Both PT100 temperature sensors must be inside the bottles.
For proper sterilization, fill the bottles with approximately the
same amount of liquid.
Nominal parameters default settings
 Sterilization temperature: 121C (250F).
 Sterilization time: 20 minutes.
