Work Requirements: CONSTRUCTION: Panel and Frame Assembly The panel and frame assembly supports pressure vessel, piping, electrical components and fascia panels. Frame is a fully welded structure fabricated from carbon steel and painted with corrosion and heat resistant epoxy paint. Frame includes adjustable stainless-steel legs for leveling the unit. Sterilizer is designed and manufactured to allow access for maintenance and service from loading end. Loading and unloading ends of sterilizer are covered with AISI 304 stainless steel fascia panels polished to a No. 3 finish in accordance with American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) (EN 10088-2: 2G). Fascia panels are easy to remove to save time and effort during maintenance. Piping AMSCO 600 series sterilizers include four piping subsystems; one for each utility supply and one for drainage as follows: Steam Compressed Air Water Chamber Drain Manual-shutoff ball valves located on water, steam and air lines isolate the respective utilities when required. Steam supply piping and associated valves are made of stainless steel for clean steam. Two-stage Vacuum Pump provides quiet and efficient operation and deep vacuum for better drying; and results in lower water consumption than is seen with water ejector systems. Sensors for Temperature and Pressure AMSCO 600 series sterilizers include sensors for independent control and recording of temperature per AAMI ST8. Additionally, one sensor is used for controlling and recording pressure. Effluent Cooling Drain effluent discharge is cooled with a mixing tank. Water usage is minimized through thermal detection. Sterile Air Filter Air entering the chamber is filtered through a 0.2-micron hydrophobic sterilizer air filter. Steam Pressure Regulating Valve (PRV) PRV regulates incoming steam pressure to within the 42 ±1 psig (2.9 bar g) limit. Pneumatic Valves System pneumatic valves are designed and constructed for long life and low maintenance. Door Design AMSCO 600 Series Steam Sterilizers are available with one or two vertical sliding doors. Each door is sealed to chamber by a steam-activated gasket which requires no lubrication. Chamber and jacket pressure gauges are provided on the front face (non-sterile side) of the sterilizer. A chamber pressure gauge is provided on the sterile side of double door units. Touch-sensitive safety edge stops doors from closing in case of obstruction. Control lock-out switch prevents cycle from starting if door is not fully closed. Door interlocks, on double door units, ensure only one door can be opened at a time. Electrical Design Electrical design includes the following features: Standard configuration requires one 3-phase connection. Design ensures fail-safe operation in event of an operational abnormality. Emergency stop (E-STOP) present by each door for critical situations. When pushed, the E-STOP turns off all outputs from the control and triggers an emergency stop pressed alarm. When released, an emergency stop released alarm occurs. If in-cycle, an abort screen displays, prompting operator to abort the cycle; otherwise, the sterilizer returns to an idle condition.
