Chamber working temperature: 121 °C (commonly used) up to 134 °C for higher grade sterilization. Corresponding sterilization pressure: approximately 0.22 MPa (≈2.2 bar) / ~15–20 psi.
Construction material: Inner chamber made of stainless steel S 304 or S 316; outer jacket often S 304.
Capacity range: e.g., 35 L up to ~150 L or more (e.g., chamber dimensions Ø300×500 mm, Ø550×750 mm) for different models.
Power supply/heating: Typical small size units with ~2-3 kW heating load; designed for 220 V/230 V AC single-phase (larger may use 3-phase).
Safety & control features: Digital/PLC control of time/temperature, door interlock (cannot open while under pressure), pressure relief valve, low-water cut-off.
Insulation/Construction: Double wall or triple wall construction (inner chamber, jacket, outer wall) with insulation to minimize heat loss.
Timer/Display: Sterilization hold time adjustable (e.g., up to 99 minutes or hours) and display shows set vs actual values.
Typical sterilization cycle time: Many vertical units are specified for around 25-35-minute sterilization hold time at 121 °C/15-20 psi.
Compliance/Testing: Hydraulic pressure tested (e.g., up to ~40 psi) and built in compliance with pressure vessel standards; smooth crevice-free internals for GMP environments.
