1.1.2 AUTOCLAVE VESSEL SPECIFICATIONS

Working Pressure: 75 psig

Safety Relief Set Point: 55 psig

Opening Assembly: Single door/quick opening door/safety pin interlock

Loading Arrangement: Horizontal

Pressure Vent: Spray condenser

1.1.3 INSULATION

The exterior of the autoclave will be insulated with 2"  of fiberglass, which will be covered with a white aluminum jacket to protect the insulation, and to make sure the equipment can be kept clean  Some surfaces will not be insulated, such as the door locking ring and hinge mechanism, support saddles, etc.  These exposed surfaces will be painted with industrial enamel if fabricated from carbon steel.

1.1.4 PROCESS VALVES

Complete with the process valves including steam supply, pressure vent and safety relief.

The steam inlet valve is to maintain and control steam pressure.  For safety, the steam inlet valve is a normally closed valve that closes in the event of any power loss.

1.1.5 AUTOCLAVE VESSEL DESIGN

The autoclave vessel is designed, fabricated, tested and certified in accordance with the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII, Division 1, for Unfired Pressure Vessels.  The vessel is designed for full vacuum.   The sterilization unit is formed and welded into a horizontal cylindrical pressure vessel with a hydraulic quick opening door.  The vessel includes two rigid support saddles to facilitate a simple installation.  The front face of the vessel has a machine groove for the rigid high temperature seal gasket. 

1.1.6 DOOR OPERATION, SEALING AND LOCKING MECHANISM

The door is hinged mounted on the autoclave.  Mounting arrangements to provide full movement to a full open position.  Preferred sealing system to utilize one-piece extruded material O-ring seal type.  The door has a positive lock type safety design per the ASME requirements.  The locking mechanism is interlocked with the control system to prevent opening the door while under pressure, and to prevent pressurization when the door is unlocked.  The door is designed with several safety features that include electric/mechanical interlock switch, PLC interlock, door safety handle interlock, visual site gauge for pressure monitor and analog dial pressure/temperature indicators.

1.1.7 MATERIAL HANDLING:  RAMP/TRACK SYSTEM

Tracks are provided at the bottom of the autoclave to match the ramp section.  Ramp is designed and positions for simple loading and unloading of the autoclave vessel.  

1.1.8 SYSTEM PIPING.

The autoclave system will completely piped at the factory prior to shipment for simple installation.  The system piping will consist of the following:

· Condensate Drains Steam traps (2) – front and rear steam traps maintains the vessel free of condensate.

· Thermocouple connections.

· Steam Inlet Valve/Strainer - proportionally controlled steam inlet valve for smooth and accurate control of steam pressure inlet.  Steam inlet valve is controlled by a PID loop controlled by the PLC.

1.1.11   CONTROL SYSTEM/PROCESS VALVES/CONTROL PANEL & INSTRUMENTATION 

The autoclave control panel is package in a NEMA 12 rated panel. The autoclave system is controlled by a state-of-the-art "Super Micro" Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) with modem hookup capabilities for online support.  The PLC performs automatic sterilization control control that includes pre-vacuum, pressurization/heat soak, vent and post-vacuum.  The PLC monitors pressure vessel conditions for providing safety interlock for door operation.

1.1.12.1 SUPERMICRO PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC CONTROLLER (PLC).

Allen Bradley SLC504 programmable control system for autoclave with the following features:

· Controlled heating 0-300 Deg. F at 0-99 Deg./min F
