water should be removed during steam delivery and the pressure should be
guaranteed at0.30～0.50mpa.

The sterilizer must be offered dry and saturated steam.

Sterilizer uses pressure steam as the sterilization medium, so the quality and
pressure of the steam determines whether the sterilization effect is good or bad.
Solid particles and condensed water should be removed during steam delivery and
the pressure should be guaranteed at 0.30～0.50mpa. If the pressure of steam
supply is too low, the cycle cannot be finished. If the pressure is too high, it will
influence the quality of sterilization effect.
If the steam supply pressure is too high（＞0.5mpa）, pressure reducing valve should
be installed on the steam supply pipe and the fluctuation should be less than 10%.
The quality index of solid particles in steam should satisfy the requirement of
following table requires（The table is from EN-285,Chapter 13.3. And Annex B）：

Industrial steam pipe is 1 inch inter thread. (If it is not consistent with installation
drawing. The equipment installation figure shall prevail). If sterilization equipment is
far away from the boiler, the diameter of pipe should be increased to reduce pipe
resistance. If several sterilizers use one steam supply pipe, the diameter of pipe
should be considered overall.
To make sure the normal operation of equipment, the steam supply pipeline should
be insulated. For the timely observation steam supply situation, the steam source
valve and a 0 ~ 1mpa range of pressure gauge should be installed on the pipe
contacting to jacket or chamber, which is convenient for observation and control.
