But as shown in the example of the figure, vapor can also be being imported into sterilizing slot 2 and is being depressed into multiple pressure goal pressure again After PU, setting retention time (such as 30 seconds) is kept with multiple pressure goal pressure PU.In addition, the multiple pressure in sterilizing slot 2 can not also Be until the detection pressure of pressure sensor 7 reaches multiple pressure goal pressure PU, but from the opening of the first supplying valve 17 by Until setting the open hour.No matter what kind of situation it is, in steam displacement process S2, by the way that subtracting in sterilizing slot 2 is repeated Pressure and the multiple pressure that realization is imported by vapor, air are excluded out of sterilizing slot 2 and are replaced into vapor.
" gas displacement process S3 "
In gas displacement process S3, will sterilize slot 2 in decompression and by formaldehyde gas import realize multiple pressure repeatedly Carry out setting number.Specifically, by the decompression for being decompressed to decompression goal pressure PL carried out by vacuum pump 3 and by formaldehyde gas Body import realize answer be depressed into it is multiple pressure goal pressure PU multiple pressure setting number is repeated.It should be noted that first subtracts It presses as the final decompression in steam displacement process S2 and can omit.Therefore, it in gas displacement process S3, is set in steam After changing process S2, by be depressed into again it is multiple pressure goal pressure PU multiple pressure and be decompressed to decompression goal pressure PL decompression repeatedly into Row setting number.
It should be noted that steam displacement process S2 and gas displacement process S3 is that will be decompressed to decompression goal pressure PL Decompression and be depressed into the process that setting number is repeated in the multiple pressure of multiple pressure goal pressure PU again, but the setting number of two-step can With different.Similarly, each decompression goal pressure PL of two-step each other can be different, and each of two-step presses target again Pressure PU each other can also be different.Above situation is not limited to the relationship of steam displacement process S2 and gas displacement process S3, It is also the same to each other for each process including steam is detached from process S5 and air is detached from process S6.In addition, for Press the retention time (setting retention time) under goal pressure PU etc. also the same again.In illustrated example, steam replace process S2, Gas displacement process S3, steam are detached from process S5 and air is detached from process S6, and the decompression goal pressure PL of each process is each other It is set as same to each other, in addition to air is detached from process S6, the multiple pressure goal pressure PU of each process is also configured as same to each other each other.
Being repeated for pressure reduction/restoration in gas displacement process S3 is specifically described, firstly, subtracting in sterilizing slot 2 When pressure, inlet valve 10 and outlet valve 11 are opened in the state of closing by-passing valve 12, and vacuum pump 3 is made to work.It sterilizes as a result, Gas in slot 2 is discharged via catalyst reactor 6, and formaldehyde included in exhaust is innoxious by catalyst decomposition.And And when the detection pressure of pressure sensor 7 reaches decompression goal pressure PL, closes inlet valve 10 and outlet valve 11 and stop Only vacuum pump 3.Later, in open second supplying valve 18, the formalin in formalin tank 14 is attracted to gasifier 15, The formaldehyde gas (as previously described stringent for be the vapor containing formaldehyde) evaporated in gasifier 15 is fed to sterilizing slot 2 It is interior.When reaching multiple pressure goal pressure PU in the slot 2 that sterilizes, the second supplying valve 18 is closed.Moreover, such decompression and multiple pressure is anti- It is multiple to execute setting number.
But as shown in the example of the figure, formaldehyde gas is being imported to be depressed into multiple pressure goal pressure PU again into sterilizing slot 2 Afterwards, setting retention time (such as 30 seconds) can also be kept with multiple pressure goal pressure PU.In addition, the multiple pressure in sterilizing slot 2 can also Until the detection pressure of not instead of pressure sensor 7 reaches multiple pressure goal pressure PU, from the opening of the second supplying valve 18 Until the setting open hour.No matter what kind of situation it is, in gas displacement process S3, by being repeated in sterilizing slot 2 Decompression and by formaldehyde gas import realize multiple pressure, sterilize slot 2 in vapor be replaced into formaldehyde gas.In other words, It will be full of in sterilizing slot 2 using the formaldehyde gas with corresponding concentration in formalin tank 14.
" sterilization process S4 "
In sterilization process S4, sterilization time will be kept under sterilising temp in sterilizing slot 2.Here, being set using gas The final multiple pressure (the multiple pressure realized by importing formaldehyde gas into sterilizing slot 2) changed in process S3 will maintain in sterilizing slot 2 In the state of for sterilization pressure (being PU in illustrated example), sterilization time will be kept under sterilising temp in sterilizing slot 2.
Specifically, maintaining sterilising temp (such as 55 DEG C) in sterilization process S4 with the detection temperature of temperature sensor 8 Mode, control formaldehyde gas to sterilizing slot 2 in importing (more specifically the second supplying valve 18), by keep sterilize when Between (such as 60 minutes) sterilize to the sterilizing object in sterilizing slot 2.Alternatively, being maintained with the detection pressure of pressure sensor 7 The mode of sterilization pressure (with the comparable saturation vapour pressure of sterilising temp), importing of the control formaldehyde gas into sterilizing slot 2, leads to It crosses and keeps sterilization time to sterilize to the sterilizing object in sterilizing slot 2.Later, in the state of closing the second supplying valve 18 to Next process transfer.
" steam is detached from process S5 "
Steam be detached from process S5 in, will sterilize slot 2 in decompression and by vapor import realize multiple pressure repeatedly into Row setting number.Specifically, being steamed by the decompression for being decompressed to decompression goal pressure PL carried out using vacuum pump 3 and by water Conductance enter realization answer be depressed into it is multiple pressure goal pressure PU multiple pressure setting number is repeated.
Being repeated for pressure reduction/restoration being detached from process S5 in steam is specifically described, firstly, subtracting in sterilizing slot 2 When pressure, inlet valve 10 and outlet valve 11 are opened in the state of closing by-passing valve 12, and vacuum pump 3 is made to work.Sterilize slot as a result, Gas in 2 is discharged via catalyst reactor 6, and the formaldehyde for including in exhaust is innoxious by catalyst.Also, it is pressing When the detection pressure of force snesor 7 reaches decompression goal pressure PL, closes inlet valve 10 and outlet valve 11 and stop vacuum Pump 3.Later, in open first supplying valve 17, the water in water pot 13 is attracted to gasifier 15, evaporates in gasifier 15 Vapor is fed in sterilizing slot 2.When reaching multiple pressure goal pressure PU in the slot 2 that sterilizes, the first supplying valve 17 is closed.And And such decompression and multiple pressure are executed into setting number repeatedly.
But example as shown is such, after importing vapor into sterilizing slot 2 to be depressed into multiple pressure goal pressure PU again, It can also be kept for the setting retention time (replacing process S2, gas displacement than steam in illustrated example with multiple pressure goal pressure PU Setting shorter time retention time in process S3).In addition, the multiple pressure in sterilizing slot 2 may not be pressure sensor 7 Detection pressure reach multiple pressure goal pressure PU until, but from the opening of the first supplying valve 17 through setting the open hour as Only.No matter what kind of situation it is, it is detached from process S5 in steam, by the decompression being repeated in sterilizing slot 2 and passes through vapor The multiple pressure realized is imported, the formaldehyde to sterilize in slot 2 is excluded, and is replaced into the vapor without formaldehyde.
" air is detached from process S6 "
It is detached from process S6 in air, is repeated by the decompression to sterilize in slot 2 and by the multiple pressure that air imports realization Set number.Specifically, being led by the decompression for being decompressed to decompression goal pressure PL carried out using vacuum pump 3 and by air Enter realization answer be depressed into it is multiple pressure goal pressure PU multiple pressure setting number is repeated.It should be noted that first decompression is made It can be omitted for the final decompression in steam disengaging process S5.Therefore, it is detached from process S6 in air, is detached from work in steam After sequence S5, the multiple pressure for being depressed into multiple pressure goal pressure PU again and the decompression for being decompressed to decompression goal pressure PL are repeated and are set Determine number.
It should be noted that in the present embodiment, air is detached from the decompression goal pressure PL of process S6 and steam replaces work Each decompression goal pressure PL that sequence S2, gas displacement process S3 and steam are detached from process S5 is identical.On the other hand, air is detached from The multiple pressure goal pressure PU of process S6 is preferably provided with to be detached from work than steam displacement process S2, gas displacement process S3 and steam The each of sequence S5 presses goal pressure PU high, preferably atmospheric pressure or close pressure again.
Being repeated for pressure reduction/restoration being detached from process S6 to air specifically describes, firstly, depressurizing in sterilizing slot 2 When, by-passing valve 12 is opened in the state of by inlet valve 10 and the closing of outlet valve 11, vacuum pump 3 is made to work.Moreover, in pressure When the detection pressure of sensor 7 reaches decompression goal pressure PL, closes by-passing valve 12 and stop vacuum pump 3.Later, in opening When steam supply valve 22, extraneous gas is fed in sterilizing slot 2.When becoming pressure goal pressure PU again in the slot 2 that sterilizes, gas supply is closed Valve 22.Moreover, such decompression and multiple pressure are executed setting number repeatedly.
But when depressurizing in the slot 2 that sterilizes, the gas in sterilizing slot 2 can also be made to be passed through catalyst reactor 6. That is, inlet valve 10 and outlet valve can also be opened in the state of closing by-passing valve 12 when depressurizing in the slot 2 that sterilizes 11, so that vacuum pump 3 is worked.The gas to sterilize in slot 2 as a result, is discharged via catalyst reactor 6, so even in sterilizing slot 2 Inside remain formaldehyde, the formaldehyde is innoxious also by catalyst.Moreover, the detection pressure in pressure sensor 7 reaches decompression When goal pressure PL, closes inlet valve 10 and outlet valve 11 and stop vacuum pump 3, open steam supply valve 22.
No matter what kind of situation it is, it is detached from process S6 in air, by the decompression being repeated in sterilizing slot 2 and passes through sky Conductance enters the multiple pressure of realization, and steam is excluded out of sterilizing slot 2 and is replaced into air.Moreover, it is final, stopping vacuum pump 3 Steam supply valve 22 is opened under state, and makes to be depressed into atmospheric pressure again in sterilizing slot 2.Later, the door of sterilizing slot 2 is opened, so as to It is enough to take out sterilizing object out of sterilizing slot 2.
According to the low-temperature steam formaldehyde bactericidal unit 1 of the present embodiment, keep the exhaust for leading to vacuum pump 3 out of sterilizing slot 2 logical Enter catalyst reactor 6, the Formaldehyde decomposition that can will contain in exhaust.Thereby, it is possible to prevent formaldehyde from flowing into vacuum pump 3, from And prevent formaldehyde from dissolving in sealing water, draining.Moreover, without the need for a large amount of water of dilution formaldehyde, so as to realize operating The reduction of cost.
In addition, allow hand over whether by from sterilizing slot 2 in exhaust be passed through catalyst reactor 6.It therefore, being capable of basis It is anti-whether gas (in other words according to operating process) switching in sterilizing slot 2 by the exhaust in sterilizing slot 2 is passed through catalyst Answer device 6.In the case where being vented via catalyst reactor 6, can in catalyst reactor 6 by Formaldehyde decomposition, without In the case where being vented by catalyst reactor 6, can with the correspondingly reduction pressure loss that is not passed through catalyst reactor 6, from And realize the shortening of evacuation time.The gas displacement process S3 containing formaldehyde preferably at least in the exhaust in sterilizing slot 2 And steam is detached from process S5, and the gas in sterilizing slot 2 is passed through catalyst reactor 6 and is vented.In addition, in air It is detached from process S6, when being vented out of sterilizing slot 2, is vented via catalyst reactor 6, thus even if just in case in sterilizing slot 2 Inside remain formaldehyde, also can be innoxious by its and be vented.
Fig. 3 is the synoptic diagram for showing the variation of low-temperature steam formaldehyde bactericidal unit of described the present embodiment.This variation (Fig. 3) is substantially also identical as the embodiment (Fig. 1).Then, it is illustrated centered on the difference of the two below, right The position answered marks identical appended drawing reference and is illustrated.
The structure of the exhaust system for leading to vacuum pump 3 out of sterilizing slot 2 of this variation is different from the embodiment.With Under, it is specifically described.Firstly, the exhaust line 9 from sterilizing slot 2 is branching into first row in the same manner as the embodiment After gas circuit 9a and second row gas circuit 9b, converges again and connect with vacuum pump 3.Wherein, it is disposed in first row gas circuit 9a Inlet valve 10, catalyst reactor 6, communicating valve 23, tank 24 and outlet valve 11.On the other hand, in second row gas circuit 9b and institute It states embodiment and is similarly provided with by-passing valve 12.As described later, it by controlling the opening and closing of each valve 10,11,12,23, can cut It changes and is vented or is not vented via second exhaust road 9b via first row gas circuit 9a.
In addition to catalyst reactor 6, the structure of inlet valve 10, outlet valve 11 and by-passing valve 12 and the embodiment phase Together.Tank 24 be than the small hollow container of sterilizing slot 2, using heater (such as heating tape) be warming up to set temperature (such as with The warming temperature to sterilize in slot 2 is mutually all 55 DEG C).The tank 24 is connect via communicating valve 23 with catalyst reactor 6, and via Outlet valve 11 is connect with vacuum pump 3.
When being vented via first row gas circuit 9a, by-passing valve 12 is remained turned-off, firstly, by inlet valve 10 and communicating valve 23 Outlet valve 11 is opened in the state of closing, makes to be decompressed to authorized pressure (the first operation) in tank 24 by vacuum pump 3.The regulation pressure Power refers to the pressure lower than the pressure in sterilizing slot 2.Later, it in the state of closing outlet valve 11, opens inlet valve 10 and connects Port valve 23, to make sterilize the interior decompression of slot 2 (the second operation).That is, via catalyst reactor 6 make sterilize slot 2 in Connection in tank 24, so that the gas to sterilize in slot 2 is attracted in tank 24 via catalyst reactor 6.At this point, from sterilizing slot Formaldehyde included in exhaust in 2 is innoxious by catalyst decomposition.And then it secondary is closed by inlet valve 10 and communicating valve 23 Outlet valve 11 is opened in the state of closing, to make to depressurize (third operation) in tank 24.Thereby, it is possible to steam water remaining in tank 24 Gas excludes, to make to be decompressed to authorized pressure in tank 24 again.
It is preferred that being operated when out of sterilizing slot 2 by the gas exhaust containing formaldehyde by above-mentioned the first operation to third Implementation, via first row gas circuit 9a be vented.For example, being detached from process S5 in gas displacement process S3, steam, such as implementation Example is described to be repeated setting number for decompression and multiple pressure like that, but preferably its each time decompression is operated according to from above-mentioned first A whole set of implementation operated to third.That is, it is preferred that will be set as being less than decompression target in advance in tank 24 by the first operation The authorized pressure of pressure PL makes to be decompressed to decompression goal pressure PL in sterilizing slot 2 by the second operation.In consideration of it, setting Set capacity, (carrying out by the first operation) decompression rank of tank 24.
Such as in gas displacement process S3, decompression in tank 24 (the first operation) is in addition to can be in (namely work in advance Before sequence starts) carry out, additionally it is possible to by after decompression sterilizing slot 2 in import formaldehyde gas realize multiple pressure concurrently into Row, in addition steam be detached from process S5 in, in addition to can in advance (before namely process starts) carry out other than, additionally it is possible to pass through The multiple pressure that vapor is realized is imported into the sterilizing slot 2 after decompression concurrently to carry out.
On the other hand, when being vented via second row gas circuit 9b, in the same manner as the embodiment, 10 He of inlet valve is being closed In the state of outlet valve 11, by-passing valve 12 is opened, and be vented by vacuum pump 3.Other structures, method of operation with it is described Embodiment is identical, and and the description is omitted.
Next, being catalyzed to used in the low-temperature steam formaldehyde bactericidal unit 1 in the embodiment (including variation) The concrete example of agent reactor 6 is illustrated.As previously mentioned, catalyst reactor 6 has reaction vessel, catalyst and heating Device.
Reaction vessel is the container being passed through for the gas in sterilizing slot 2, typically by the cylinders material shape such as cylinder, square tube At.It is provided in reaction vessel by the catalyst of Formaldehyde decomposition.Typically, the reaction vessel of tubular is arranged in axial middle part There is catalyst, the opening portion of opening portion towards another party of Cong Yifang are passed through the gas out of sterilizing slot 2 towards vacuum pump 3.
Having heaters is set in reaction vessel, and catalyzer temperature-elevating is made by the heater.For example, sheathing formula heater is set It is set to all side walls entirety from outer side covering reaction vessel.Before the gas in sterilizing slot 2 is passed through catalyst, using adding Hot device makes catalyzer temperature-elevating to set temperature (150 DEG C or more, preferably 200~250 DEG C), later to maintain the set temperature Mode control heater.It should be noted that during the gas containing formaldehyde passes through catalyst, the temperature of catalyst It is suppressed to higher than the set temperature but lower than the temperature naturally on fire of formaldehyde.
Additionally, it is preferred that heater not only makes catalyzer temperature-elevating, also make to lead to out of sterilizing slot 2 catalyst gas (such as 50~55 DEG C of gas) heating.That is, the gas being preferred from sterilizing slot 2 will be catalyzed in reaction vessel It heats up in a manner of as 150 DEG C or more of the set temperature before.In order to be realized in above-mentioned with simple and small-sized device Hold, catalyst reactor 6 is preferably constituted by following.
Fig. 4 is the schematic cross sectional view for showing an example of catalyst reactor 6.In this example embodiment, catalyst reactor 6 is arranged For the double-sleeve structure being made of inner cylinder 25 and outer cylinder 26, catalyst 27 is provided in inner cylinder 25 and outer cylinder 26 passes through heater (illustration omitted) heating.Moreover, the gas in sterilizing slot 2 turns back behind the gap being passed through between inner cylinder 25 and outer cylinder 26 And it is passed through in inner cylinder 25.
It is more particularly described, inner cylinder 25 is contained in outer cylinder 26 in a manner of keeping axis consistent.Moreover, inner cylinder 25 and outer cylinder 26 have the entrance of fluid in axial one end (being right part in Fig. 4), (are left end in Fig. 4 in axial the other end Portion) it is occluded by end wall 28.That is, the cylindric gap between inner cylinder 25 and outer cylinder 26 is in axial the other end by end wall 28 Occlusion, and the hollow hole of inner cylinder 25 is also occluded by identical end wall 28.Moreover, in the position close to the end wall 28, in inner cylinder 25 all side walls are formed with multiple interconnecting parts (through hole or notch) 29 in mode separate in the circumferential, and inner cylinder 25 is inside and outside It is connected to by the interconnecting part 29.That is, the cylindric gap between inner cylinder 25 and outer cylinder 26 is passed through with the hollow hole of inner cylinder 25 It is connected to by the interconnecting part 29 of all side walls setting in inner cylinder 25.
On the other hand, the cylindric gap between axial one end, inner cylinder 25 and outer cylinder 26 and matching from sterilizing slot 2 Pipe connection, the hollow hole of inner cylinder 25 are connect with the piping for leading to vacuum pump 3.In illustrated example, axial one end is provided with end Wall 30, and the hollow hole in the cylindric gap, inner cylinder 25 between inner cylinder 25 and outer cylinder 26 is occluded by the end wall 30.But at this End wall 30 is respectively formed with through hole 30a, 30b in position corresponding with the cylindric gap, the hollow hole.Moreover, The pipe portion of the through hole 30a, 30b setting is connect with the piping from the slot 2 that sterilizes, the piping of leading to vacuum pump 3.In addition, inside The axial central portion of cylinder 25 is provided with catalyst 27.
Also, having heaters (illustration omitted) is set in the outer cylinder of catalyst reactor 6 26.For example, in addition to outer cylinder 26 Outside all side walls, sheathing formula preferably is provided in a manner of covering the end wall 28,30 (end wall 28 of at least axial the other end) Heater.By making the heater work, it can make in outer cylinder 26 or even inner cylinder 25 is interior and catalyst 27 is warming up to setting temperature Degree.
When the gas in slot 2 will be sterilized using the discharge of vacuum pump 3 via catalyst reactor 6, heater is advanced with Catalyst 27 is set to be warming up to set temperature.Double-sleeve structure is set by reaction vessel (25,26), therefore and the case where single tube (only inner cylinder 25) is compared and is difficult to make catalyzer temperature-elevating, but as described in the embodiment, after operation start, is vacuumizing work In sequence S1, steam displacement process S2, it is vented via second row gas circuit 9b (that is not via catalyst reactor 6), herein Period, it can be ensured that the time for making catalyst 27 heat up using heater.
In addition, the decomposition reaction of formaldehyde is by reaction equation " HCHO+O2→CO2+H2O " is indicated, needs oxygen.But such as the reality It is described like that apply example, in vacuumizing process S1, steam displacement process S2, is excluded in the air carried out in sterilizing slot 2 Afterwards, formaldehyde gas (gas displacement process S3) is imported into sterilizing slot 2, so as to realize sterilizing under vacuum.Therefore, exist When being vented out of sterilizing slot 2, even if formaldehyde is passed through catalyst reactor 6, it is also possible to not carried out because of hypoxgia desired It decomposes.Catalyst reactor 6 is passed through after external air it is then preferred that being mixed into the gas in sterilizing slot 2.
In illustrated example, sky is opened up in the end wall 30 (position being connected to the cylindric gap) of the axial one end Intake of the stomata 30c as extraneous gas.Therefore, it when being vacuumized, is automatically imported into come from external air Gas from sterilizing slot 2, behind the gap between inner cylinder 25 and outer cylinder 26, the catalyst 27 that is passed through in inner cylinder 25.Herein Period carries out gas and the mixing from external air and the heating carried out by heater in sterilizing slot 2.Separately Outside, it is diluted, is able to suppress excessive at catalyst 27 and being mixed into air in the formaldehyde gas in sterilizing slot 2 Temperature rise.
Also, valve can also be set in the pipeline for leading to airport 30c, and the opening and closing of the valve or aperture are configured to Adjustment.In addition, airport 30c is not limited to the end wall 30 of axial one end, it can also be formed in outer cylinder 26, according to circumstances may be used also To be formed in the piping for leading to catalyst reactor 6 from sterilizing slot 2.No matter what kind of situation it is, it is gone out by the way that air to be mixed into come from In gas in bacterium slot 2 and it is passed through catalyst reactor 6, the decomposition of formaldehyde can be reliably achieved.
It should be noted that the posture of catalyst reactor 6 is not limited to transverse direction, or longitudinal, oblique.Namely It says, in Fig. 4, the inner cylinder 25 of catalyst reactor 6 and the axis of outer cylinder 26 configure in left-right direction, but can also be vertically Direction configures or diagonally configures.Vertically, oblique configuration in the case where, can also make in the pair of end wall 28,30 Either one is upward.The fluid substantially instrument for being passed through catalyst reactor 6 is gas, therefore can suitably change catalyst Posture, the setting direction of reactor 6.In addition, inner cylinder 25 and outer cylinder 26 are made of cylinder, but according to circumstances in illustrated example, It can also be made of square tubes such as section quadrangles.
Fig. 5 is another schematic cross sectional view for showing catalyst reactor 6.The catalyst reactor 6 of Fig. 5 also substantially with The catalyst reactor 6 of Fig. 4 is identical.Then, it is illustrated centered on the difference of the two, is marked at corresponding position below Identical appended drawing reference is illustrated.
In the catalyst reactor 6 of Fig. 4, axial the other end by inner cylinder 25 and outer cylinder 26 (is left end in Fig. 4 Portion) opening portion using end wall 28 occlude, and all side walls of axial the other end of inner cylinder 25 be arranged interconnecting part 29, thus Make the inside and outside connection of inner cylinder 25, but in the catalyst reactor of Fig. 56, by the opening portion benefit of axial the other end of outer cylinder 26 It is occluded with end wall 28, and there are gaps in a manner of being isolated with end wall 28 for axial the other end of inner cylinder 25.Moreover, the gap (gap between axial the other end of inner cylinder 25 and end wall 28) is as the inside and outside performance of interconnecting part 29 being connected to for making inner cylinder 25 Function.In this case, from axial one end in the axial direction the other end flow through inner cylinder 25 and outer cylinder 26 cylindric gap gas Body backs into inner cylinder 25 in axial the other end folding, towards axial one end flowing, and via the catalyst in inner cylinder 25 27 export.Other structures are identical as Fig. 4, and and the description is omitted.
The low-temperature steam formaldehyde bactericidal unit 1 of the utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments the structure (including variation) (including control), is able to carry out and suitably changes.Especially, if having (a) contain sterilizing object sterilizing slot 2, (b) should Gas in sterilizing slot 2, which is set to vacuum pump 3, (c) of the external hydrolock for attracting discharge from sterilizing slot 2, leads to vacuum pump 3 Exhaust line 9 and decomposing formaldehyde catalyst reactor 6, then other structures, which are able to carry out, suitably changes.
For example, in the described embodiment, by the row first row gas circuit 9a exhaust carried out and carried out by second row gas circuit 9b Gas be by inlet valve 10, outlet valve 11 and by-passing valve 12 switching carry out, but sterilize slot 2 in exhaust when whether pass through By the specific structure of catalyst reactor 6, there is no particular restriction.As an example, inlet valve 10 and by-passing valve 12 be can replace and Triple valve is arranged in the branch portion of first row gas circuit 9a and second row gas circuit 9b, alternatively, also can replace outlet valve 11 and by-passing valve 12 and in the fluidic junction of first row gas circuit 9a and second row gas circuit 9b, triple valve is set.
In addition, in the described embodiment, can according to circumstances omit the by-passing valve 12 of second row gas circuit 9b.Alternatively, can also To omit the setting of second row gas circuit 9b itself.The exhaust in sterilizing slot 2 is passed through always that is, may be set to be By catalyst reactor 6 and the structure that is discharged using vacuum pump 3.In this case, in addition to second row gas circuit 9b, outlet valve 11 Setting can also omit.
In addition, in the described embodiment, successively executing and vacuumizing process S1, steam displacement process S2, gas displacement process S3, sterilization process S4, steam are detached from process S5 and air is detached from process S6, as long as the sterilizing carried out including the use of formaldehyde gas Process S4, then the presence or absence of each process, content etc. can be changed suitably.For example, vacuumizing process S1 can be used in checking sterilizing Leakage (flowing into towards the extraneous gas in sterilizing slot 2) when decompression in slot 2 and determine that the decompression in subsequent each process is answered The number of pressure, but without leak test and fixed setting number, the implementation for vacuumizing process S1 can be omitted. In addition, the purpose of steam displacement process S2 is the air excluded in sterilizing slot 2, but formaldehyde gas is able to use instead of vapor Body.Accordingly it is also possible to not implement steam displacement process S2 and increase the number of the pressure reduction/restoration of gas displacement process S3.
