1.2 WARM-UP
When the door is closed, if one of the 6 available sterilization cycles is selected and activated, the door is locked and
the WARM-UP phase is activated.
During this phase are warmed up:
- chamber by the chamber heating element;
- generator by the generator heating element;
until reaching the following temperature levels.
- tube bundle heating element > PT3 temperature reading - 110°C;
- generator heating element > PT2 temperature reading - 140°C;
- chamber > PT1 temperature reading - 60°C.

When the above values are reached, the next phase begins. This is the 1st VACUUM PHASE.
The 1st VACUUM PHASE will start after 10 minutes even though the temperature readings are below the values listed
above.
The WARM-UP phase is divided into 2 sections:
- section 1 continues until PT2 temperature reading = 110°C
- section 2 continues until PT2 temperature reading = 140°C

During section 2 of the WARM-UP phase, the following components are turned on:
- vacuum pump
- solenoid valve EV2 (air suction)
- solenoid valve EV4 (vacuum pump bypass)
so that the pump reaches its regular operating conditions and any condensate in the tubes is eliminated.

1.3 1st VACUUM PHASE

This phase marks the beginning of the sterilization cycle proper. As the vacuum pump is activated, the maximum
vacuum level in the chamber, namely – 0.80 bar, can be reached (S 17 Classic -0.75 bar).
The tube bundle heating element of the chamber and the generator heating element remain activated throughout this
phase so the steam generation can be managed properly.
The 1st VACUUM PHASE must ensure that as much air as possible is removed from the chamber. In order to achieve
this, repeated steam shots are injected as pressure drops to aid removal of any remaining air.
These steam shots are operated automatically according to pressure value in the chamber as follows:
- steam shot starts > chamber pressure reading – 0.70
- steam shot ends > chamber pressure reading – 0.60
This sequence is repeated 3 times, and pressure drops until reaching the preset vacuum level of – 0.80 bar. This value
triggers the next phase, namely the 1st PRESSURE RISE.
The control system operates the solenoid valve EV2 (air inlet) when it is needed to improve vacuum pump perfor-
mance, which may be the case during the last pressure drop phase.

1.4 1st PRESSURE RISE


During this phase, steam injection into the chamber is activated to raise pressure back up to 1.00 bar from the negative
value reached during the vacuum pulse.
Pressure is raised in two steps; firstly, from – 0.80 bar to 0.00 bar, and then from 0.00 bar to 1.00 bar.
During the first pressure rise step, solenoid valve EV2 is activated to compensate for any air pockets which may have
developed in the hydraulic circuit outside the chamber.
The tube bundle heating element of the chamber and the generator heating element remain activated throughout the
pressure rise phase to ensure that the proper temperature is maintained in the chamber and enable fast steam genera-
tion.

TECHNICAL MANUAL - B CLASSIC / B FUTURA / S CLASSIC

1.5 2nd VACUUM PHASE


During this phase of the cycle, the pressure in the chamber, which had reached 1.00 bar during the 1st PRESSURE
RISE is lowered by releasing steam through solenoid valve EV1 and the condensate fraction through solenoid valve
EV3, which is connected to the chamber filter.
Upon reaching 0.10 bar, solenoid valve EV4 is activated and has the vacuum pump – which had been activated at the
beginning of the 2nd VACUUM PHASE – lower pressure further to approach – 0.80 bar.
No steam shots occur during this phase.

1.6 2nd PRESSURE RISE


This phase is similar to the 1st PRESSURE RISE, in that pressure rises back up to 1.00 bar from the negative value
reached during the vacuum pulse.
The sequence of vacuum pulses and pressure rise phases eliminates nearly all air left inside the sterilization chamber,
as well as any air contained in any hollow bodies or porous materials included in the load.
Eliminating air ensures optimal steam diffusion and equal temperature at all points of the load.

1.8 3rd PRESSURE RISE / STERILISATION PROCESS


Alternating pressure drops to a vacuum value of – 0.80 bar with two pressure rise phases up to 1.00 bar ensures that
a residual amount of air of 0.06% of total initial air is retained.

After the phases outlined above, a 3rd PRESSURE RISE begins that introduces the STERILIZATION PROCESS prop-
er, which occurs at 134°C/2.15 bar or 121°C/1.10 bar, depending on which type of cycle has been selected.
During this pressure rise phase, the different components are in the same (on/off) states as during the previous phases.

After the pressure and temperature values set for the selected sterilization cycle have been reached, a BALANCING
phase of nearly 15” is activated to stabilize temperature inside the chamber before the PROCESS phase proper begins.
Maximum, normal and minimum pressure values to be observed during the BALANCING and PROCESS phases are
set for each cycle.

Cycle type Pmax Pnorm Pmin


121°C 1.14 1.11 1.08
134°C 2.17 2.14 2.12

During the BALANCING and PROCESS phases, the control system takes the following actions as required:
- it powers on the tube bundle heating element of the chamber to raise value T in the chamber
- it powers on EV1 to discharge steam from the chamber when pressure rises above the allowed Pmax value
- it powers on the water injection pump/EV6 to inject steam into the chamber when pressure drops below the allowed
Pmin value

1.9 DISCHARGE
When the PROCESS phase is completed, the DISCHARGE phase begins. During this phase, all steam is discharged
from the chamber and a vacuum value of - 0.80 bar is reached.
Just like the previous PRESSURE DROPS TO VACUUM phases, the DISCHARGE phase begins with a natural de-
pressurization phase that uses the pressure generated by steam, during which only the drain solenoid valves EV1 and
EV3 are operated.
To achieve complete DISCHARGE, until achieving – 0.80 bar, the system keeps lowering pressure by means of the
vacuum pump and operating the solenoid valve EV4.
Again, the solenoid valve EV2 is activated to balance pressure inside the hydraulic circuit and aid the operation of the
vacuum pump.

After the DISCHARGE phase, the DRYING phase begins. This phase is an integral part of the sterilization cycle.

12 FUNCTIONING EN
TECHNICAL MANUAL - B CLASSIC / B FUTURA / S CLASSIC

1.10 DRYING
This phase of the sterilization cycle eliminates any moisture left inside the chamber and fully dries the load.
Drying is achieved by maintaining a negative pressure level inside the chamber, so that condensate can evaporate
even at temperatures below 100°C.
The drying phase has a different duration for each sterilization cycle (e.g. 12’ for 134°C universal cycle). During the dry-
ing phase, a series of pressure pulses take place in the chamber, approximately between - 0.80 bar and - 0.40 bar, to
aid total removal of any residual steam; the number of pulses may vary depending on the moisture content in the load.
During the pressure rise phases that take place during these pulses, solenoid valve EV5 is activated to let air flow into
the chamber through the bacteriological filter; this air flow aids steam removal.

EN FUNCTIONING 13
B CLASSIC / B FUTURA / S CLASSIC - TECHNICAL MANUAL

1.11 VENTILATION

During this phase, pressure starts rising again gradually to achieve a balance with ambient pressure.
Pressure is raised by keeping suction in the chamber active through the vacuum pump, while air is admitted to the
chamber through the bacteriological filter/EV5; VENTILATION ends upon reaching a pressure of > -0.30 bar in the
chamber.

5.2 TECHNICAL DATASHEET ST02 - MANIFOLD


The MANIFOLD is installed on all “B CLASSIC/FUTURA” models. It is found on the left side of the chamber and is
easily accessed after removing the left side panel. There are two screws that secure it to autoclave bottom and are
accessible from above.
For maintenance purposes, the MANIFOLD can be removed from inside the autoclave because it can be displaced with
no need to disconnect its connection cables and the wiring of solenoid valves.

WARNING:
Power off the autoclave and disconnect the power mains cord before removing the side covers.

The solenoid valves feature 24Vdc class-H coils suitable for temperatures up to 150°C
Power supply to solenoid valves is electronically controlled and provides 24Vdc inrush voltage; power supply is redu-
ced to 16Vdc during regular operation.
Connections are made with one common (black) wire and a specific wire for each individual solenoid valve; note the
colour of the specific wire before disconnecting any wires.
The five solenoid valves are clearly identified with their corresponding numbers stamped on the read end of the MANI-
FOLD, close to each valve. EV1 and EV3 control steam discharge from the chamber and feature stainless steel seat.

FUNCTIONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF SOLENOID VALVES


- EV1 2-way, normally open NO
- EV2/EV3/EV5 2-way, normally closed NC
- EV4 3-way

In the event of a black-out, EV1-NO restores pressure balance in the chamber to that the door can be opened manually.

OPERATION
EV1 NO is connected to the top drain of the chamber; it controls steam discharge during the pressure release phases
(vacuum pulses, cycle end, drying pulses). It is powered on (closed) during all chamber pressure maintenance phases.

EV2 NC is connected to the MANIFOLD filter. It controls the supply of air at atmospheric pressure into the circuit out-
side the chamber, and prevents pressure to reach negative values which could otherwise lead to starting problems with
the vacuum pump.

EV3 NC is connected to the bottom drain of the chamber (chamber filter) and controls condensate discharge during
pressure release phases.

EV4 3-way is connected to heat exchanger, vacuum pump and drain tank; it controls the direct discharge of condensed
steam to the tank; when chamber pressure drops to P=0.10 bar, it directs the outlet flow from the heat exchanger to
the vacuum pump.

EV5 NC is connected to the bacteriological filter and controls the flow of filtered air to the chamber during the balancing
phase at cycle end; the filtered air flow is conveyed to the chamber through the seat of EV1, which is closed during the
pressure balancing phase.

SERVICE OPERATIONS
Each solenoid valve can maintained individually to:
-- Check and clean solenoid valve seat.
-- Check and clean cursor.
-- Change the complete cursor/cursor holder assembly.

5.3 TECHNICAL DATASHEET ST03 - DOOR GEARMOTOR ASSEMBLY


The autoclaves are equipped with a motorised door closing and locking device that uses a endless screw and is driven
by the door gearmotor.
The door servomotor assembly is secured to the left side the chamber and can be accessed after removing the right
side panel.
The servomotor assembly includes a vertically mounted gearmotor, that drives a horizontal drive shaft ending in a
endless screw with trapezoidal section.
When in motion, the endless screw runs into the threaded bushing installed on the porthole cross member, bringing the
porthole closer to the jamb until it closes and the door is locked.
To ensure quiet running and improved strength, the shaft turns in a thrust ball bearing positioned inside the front sup-
port of the servomotor assembly.
The servomotor assembly is operated by the porthole, when the operating pin hits the door approaching microswitch.
During this first closing phase, the servomotor assembly moves forward due to a mechanical effect; it slides on steel
pins and is supported by a sliding plate made from the anti-friction material; the closing phase ends when the door
closed microswitch trips and stops the servomotor.
When the cycle is started, the gearmotor is activated; power supply current is controlled so that when it reaches its
maximum value at 3.2A, the system is stopped.
Upon reaching the first vacuum pulse, with a negative pressure of -0.80 bar, a further door closing motion is performed
(about ½ shaft rotation) to ensure perfect sealing.
The opening control enables the servomotor to move backwards and release the door, which is moved away from the
chamber thanks to the thrust action of the operating pin; during this phase, the door closed microswitch and the por-
thole approaching microswitch are de-activated.

5.5 TECHNICAL DATASHEET ST05 - PT1 SENSOR - CHAMBER TEMPERATURE SENSOR


Temperature inside the chamber is measured by a sensor termed PT1, which sits in the middle of the chamber back
wall; this position ensure more accurate readings and reduces the chances of the sensor contacting the load placed
inside the chamber.
The sensor is the PT1000 and features the following resistance ratings:
- 1000 Ω at 0°C
- 1500 Ω at 130.4°C
In addiction, to ensure improved accuracy, the actual resistance reading given the by sensor at 130.4°C is stamped on
the sensor
This value is stored in the autoclave at the factory and must be checked/modified when the sensor is replaced (ref.
SERVICE MENU – SQ26)

The PT1 sensor is connected to the general electronic card, which incorporates a sensor input calibration circuit, which
automatically checks calibration during operation.
Automatic input calibration is provided for the other sensors as well:
