Methods And Apparatus For Steam Sterilization With Reduced Water Consumption
US Patent:
6086822, Jul 11, 2000
Filed:
Mar 2, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/033137
Inventors:
Michael A. Trinidad - Natick MA
International Classification:
A61L 208
US Classification:
422 26
Abstract:
The invention provides improved methods and apparatus for steam sterilization that monitor pressure at one of more points in the steam flow path in order to regulate the flow of cooling water mixed into the discharge or effluent. This permits the indirect, yet accurate and rapid, determination of discharge water temperature so that it can be mixed with just the right amount of cooling water to bring it to the desired temperature, e. g. , 140. degree. F. or below.
