Recipe Used for the Garment Load
| Phase | Parameter | Control Strategya |
|---|---|---|
| Preparation | Timed vacuum | P = 0.1 bar, time = 5.0 min |
| Prepulsing | Steam addition rate | P0 = 0.1 bar |
| Pfinal = 1.0 bar | ||
| dP/dt = 20 mbar/2 sec | ||
| Pressure level increase = 0.1 bar | ||
| Vacuum rate | P0 = 1.0 bar | |
| Pfinal = 0.1 bar | ||
| dP/dt = 20 mbar/2 sec | ||
| Falling pulse level increase = 0.0 bar | ||
| Vacuum hold after every pulse | Time = 3 min | |
| P = 0.1 bar | ||
| Number of pre-pulses | 5 | |
| Heating (prior to sterilization hold phase) | Temperature | Tfinal = 121.6°C |
| dP/dt = 7 mbar/2 sec |
↵a P is pressure, T is temperature, t is time.
