5.5 Cycles 8 to 10: Liquids

5.5.1 Applications

Cycles 8-10 are used for the sterilization of liquids in suitable vessels.

5.5.2 Preset parameters

5.5.3 Typical cycle

As soon as the steam generator has built up the required steam pressure,
the steam flows into the sterilization chamber.
After the sterilization temperature has been reached, it then remains
constant for the duration of the sterilization period.
After the sterilization period has elapsed, cycles 8 to 10 with the optional
built-in cooling apparatus are cooled down until the unloading temperature
has been reached.
Revision: 1.3
Use the flexible temperature sensor!
For the sterilization of liquids, an autoclave with a temperature-
dependent door lock is required.
The flexible temperature sensor must therefore be placed in the
liquid or in a reference vessel. The reference vessel should
have the same size and fill volume as the vessel containing the
liquid to be sterilized.
Not suitable for the sterilization of liquids in tightly-shut
vessels!
Liquids in closed vessels are only to be sterilized in cycles with
rapid cooling and support pressure supply.
Make sure that the vessels to be sterilized are under no
circumstances tightly-shut!
