Abstract
Description
Sterilisierung mit Mikrowellen Microwave sterilization
Für die Sterilisierung mit Mikrowellen ist entscheidend, ob die zu erreichende Temperatur unter oder über 1000 liegt. Der Grund liegt in dem Zwang, bei näherungsweise 100al und darüber den Vorgang in einem abgeschirmten Druckraum stattfinden zu lassen. Dadurch sind der Strahlungsausbildung im Arbeitsraum einengende Grenzen gesetzt und zur Homogenisierung der Strahlungsenergie im Objekt sind neue Verfahren notwendig.For the sterilization with microwaves it is crucial whether the to reaching temperature is below or above 1000. The reason lies in the compulsion at approximately 100al and above the process in a shielded pressure room to take place. This restricts the radiation formation in the work area There are new limits to the homogenization of the radiant energy in the object Procedure necessary.
Es sind Methoden bekannt1), die Objekte wenigstens in einer Dimension möglichst niedrig zu halten, um d-lt notwendige Eindringtiefe zu verringern und weiter den Temperaturausgleich nicht allein der Mikrowelle zu überla;;st?n, sondern durch konventionelle Wärmeleitung über flüssige oder gasförmige Zwischenmittel zu erreichen. Der notwendige Überdruck wird durch Druckwasser geliefert.Methods are known1), the objects in at least one dimension to be kept as low as possible in order to reduce the necessary penetration depth and further to not only leave the temperature compensation to the microwave ;; st? n, but by conventional heat conduction via liquid or gaseous intermediates reach. The necessary overpressure is provided by pressurized water.
Diese Einschränkungen benötigt das im folgenden angegebene; Verfahren nicht. Vielmehr wird das Objekt in der bisher üblichen Größe in einen Arbeitsraum gebracht, der aber nur wenig größer als das Objekt selbst ist und druckdicht abschliessbar ist. Die Energie wird durch druckdichte Fenster eingestrahlt.The following requires these restrictions; procedure not. Rather, the object is converted into a work space in the previously usual size brought, which is only slightly larger than the object itself and can be locked pressure-tight is. The energy is radiated through pressure-tight windows.
Wegen der Kleinheit des Arbeitsraumes können die früher geschilderten Verfahren mit Ausnutzen von Interferenzeffektee 2) nicht mehr voll zur Anwendung kommen, si müssen modifiziert werden. Letzteres ist ein weiterer integraler Punkt der vorliegenden Anmeldung.Due to the small size of the work area, the previously described Process with utilization of interference effects 2) no longer fully applicable come, they need to be modified. The latter is another integral point of the present application.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel ergibt weitere Erläuterungen.An exemplary embodiment provides further explanations.
Abb. 1 zeigt eine Beispielsausführung schematisch im Längsschnitt, 1 ist je ein Sender gleicher Leistung und Frequenz, 2 die Hohlrohrzuleitung, 3 eine stabile metallische Grundplatte mit den beiden Fenstern 4, 5 eine druckfeste dielektrische Schicht mit vernachlässigbaren Verlusten und kleiner Dielektrizitätskonstanten, 6 der Arbeitsraum, 7 das Objekt üblicher Form und Größe, 8 die druckfeste metallische Außenwand in Schalenform mit Hohl flächen zur Aufnahme gegebenenfalls von Kühlmitteln, 9 sind angedeutet HF-Fallen, 10 Druck- und Temperaturmeßstellen.Fig. 1 shows an example design schematically in longitudinal section, 1 is a transmitter with the same power and frequency, 2 is the hollow pipe, 3 is one stable metallic base plate with the two windows 4, 5 a pressure-resistant dielectric Layer with negligible losses and small dielectric constants, 6 the work area, 7 the object of normal shape and size, 8 the pressure-resistant metallic one Shell-shaped outer wall with hollow surfaces for holding coolants if necessary, 9 are indicated HF traps, 10 pressure and temperature measuring points.
Nach Einführung des Objektes wird die Schale 8 druckdicht aufgesetzt und mit üblichen mechanischen, hydro-aerodynamischen o. a. Verfahren angepreßt, wobei die Druck- und/ oder Temperaturwerte den Vorgang steuern.After the object has been introduced, the shell 8 is placed in a pressure-tight manner and with the usual mechanical, hydro-aerodynamic, etc. Procedure pressed, wherein the pressure and / or temperature values control the process.
Zur homogenen Erwärmung wird die Längsresonanz des Raumes benutzt und der passende Reflektionsabstand zu den Wänden.The longitudinal resonance of the room is used for homogeneous heating and the appropriate reflection distance to the walls.
Betrachten wir einen Sender für sich allein. Die Energiedichte fällt wegen der Absorption längs des Objektes vom Eintrittsfenster in Richtung des anderen ab, und zwar bei geeignet gewählter Dämpfung nahe wie cos. 4 1 l, lo ist der mittlere Fensterabstand, d. h. also nahezu linear.Let us consider a transmitter on its own. The energy density falls because of the absorption along the object from the entrance window towards the other with appropriately selected damping close to cos. 4 1 l, lo is the middle one Window spacing, d. H. so almost linear.
Beide Sender zusammen erzeugen also längs 1 einen fast konstanten Mittelwert. Ebenso reguliert sich die seitliche Verteilung bei dem passenden Reflektionsabstand der Wände.Both transmitters together therefore generate an almost constant along 1 Average. The lateral distribution is also regulated with the appropriate reflection distance of the walls.
Gegebenenfalls wird eine überhöhte Energiestrahlung an den Schmalseiten durch speziell geformte Blenden verhindert.If necessary, there is excessive energy radiation on the narrow sides prevented by specially shaped panels.
Damit die angepaßten Sender sich bei zu dichter Kohärenz nicht gegenseitig stören, werden sie im Wechseltakt betrieben mit im Mittel voller Leistung, bei Gleichspannungsbetrieb durch wechselweises Austasten, bei Wechselspannungsbetrieb durch Phasendifferenz von 1800 am Netzkontakt.So that the matched transmitters are not mutually exclusive if the coherence is too close disturb, they are operated in alternating cycles with an average of full power, with direct voltage operation through alternating blanking, in AC voltage operation through phase difference from 1800 at the network contact.
Normalerweise sind die Objekte vor der Behandlung bereits vakuumdicht verschweißt. Beim Start muß für genügend Feuchtigkeit im Raum gesorgt werden wegen des notwendigen Dampfdruckausgleiches. U. U. kann aber auch die Schweißung im abgeschlossenen Gehäuse erfolgen, indem den eingebauten Schweißbacken durch flexible Wellrohre o. ä. Spannung und Anpreßdruck zugeführt wird. Zur Beschleunigung der Abkühlung auf unter 1000 nach der Aufwärmung und gegebenenfalls einer vorgeschriebenen Verweilzeit werden die Wände mit Kühlmitteln gekühlt. Abb. 2 zeigt das Schema eines Durchlaufofens, dabei erscheint die Druckapparatur von der Schmalseite aus gesehen.Usually the objects are already vacuum-tight before treatment welded. When starting, sufficient moisture must be provided in the room because of the necessary vapor pressure equalization. Under certain circumstances, however, the weld can also be completed in the closed Housings are made by inserting the built-in welding jaws through flexible corrugated pipes or the like. Ä. Voltage and contact pressure is supplied. To speed up the cooling down less than 1000 after warming up and, if necessary, a prescribed dwell time the walls are cooled with coolants. Fig. 2 shows the scheme of a continuous furnace, the pressure apparatus appears to be seen from the narrow side.
Das Band 11 läuft im Takt, den der Ofenteil 12 vorgibt. In 13 wird das Objekt vorgewärmt, um die Verweilzeit in 12 abzukürzen. Das Bandmaterial wird so ausgewählt, daß es gleichzeitig auch zur Abdichtung der beiden Wandteile und der Fenster dient.The belt 11 runs at the rate specified by the furnace part 12. In 13 will the object preheated to shorten the dwell time in 12. The tape material will selected so that it also seals the two wall parts and at the same time the window serves.
