5.9 Program 9: Liquid A
For liquids in unsealed bottles when the manufacturer recommends
autoclaving at temperatures of 121ºC (250
F) with no drying.
Nominal parameters default settings
Sterilization temperature: 121C (250F).
Sterilization time: 20 minutes.
Operations Sequence
Insert water to chamber and heating by actuation of electrical heaters
until reaching the high preset air pulse.
Heating by actuation of electrical heaters until the sterilization
temperature is reached.
Sterilization temperature is maintained constant for the preset
sterilization time.
ELV-D models
Slow exhaust; steam is slowly exhausted from the chamber, until it
reaches the required end temperature (approx. 95ºC) and the
pressure equals the atmospheric pressure.
ELVC-D models
Forced cooling to the required end temperature (approx. 95ºC),
while the pressure in the chamber remains the same as the
sterilization pressure, by supplying compressed air into the
chamber. The forced cooling shortens the cooling stage
significantly.
Fast exhaust, steam is exhausted out of the chamber at a fast rate
until pressure decreases to ambient pressure.
