不良になる。Generally, sterilization work in a high-pressure steam sterilizer is performed according to the steps shown in FIG. At that time, during the vacuum process and steam supply process, water vapor may come into contact with the low-temperature objects to be sterilized and condense, but if this happens, the objects to be sterilized will become wet, and condensed water will remain even after sterilization is completed. This will result in poor drying.
そのため、これまでにも、真空工程前に高圧蒸気滅菌器
内に設けた電熱ヒーターにより被滅菌物を加熱する予熱
工程を設ける方法や高圧蒸気滅菌器外に予熱および乾燥
用の熱交換器等の付帯装置を備えた蒸気滅菌器が提案さ
れている。For this reason, there have been methods to provide a preheating process in which the objects to be sterilized are heated using an electric heater installed inside the autoclave before the vacuum process, and methods such as installing a heat exchanger for preheating and drying outside the autoclave. Steam sterilizers with ancillary equipment have been proposed.
しかし、それらの公知の手法や装置によるときは、予熱

高騰を招く。However, when these known methods and devices are used, extra time is required for the preheating process, making sterilization time-consuming and requiring additional equipment such as a heat exchanger to be installed in the steam sterilizer. This will lead to a rise in production costs.
この発明は、上述したような問題点に着目し、高圧蒸気

している。This invention focuses on the above-mentioned problems, and makes it possible to quickly heat objects to be sterilized without installing ancillary devices such as electric heaters and heat exchangers inside and outside the high-pressure steam sterilizer. The steam sterilizer is characterized in that a coating material that promotes radiant heat transfer is formed on the inner wall surface of the sterilization chamber in a steam sterilizer.
すなわち、この発明によれば、滅菌室の内壁面の被覆材

加工したものを用いる。Embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings. In Figure 1, (1) is the outer can, (2) is the inner can, (3) is the pressure door, and (4) is the inner wall of the sterilization chamber (7) with a coating material that promotes radiant heat transfer. It is a plate-shaped heat exchanger plate for promoting radiant heat transfer that is attached to the formed coating material layer or the inner wall surface. In forming such a coating material, AlzOs, CrzO is usually used as a coating material.
= Ceramink-based inorganic materials such as Zr0g, heat-resistant paints that do not contain toxic substances, etc. can be applied. In this case, it is effective to provide a metallic coating layer such as a Ni-based alloy under the inorganic coating layer. Further, as the plate-shaped heat transfer plate, a plate formed from the above-mentioned ceramic inorganic material is used.

たがって行われる。In the above-mentioned tank bottom steam sterilizer, the steam sent from the steam generator passes through the pressure regulating valve (5) to a predetermined steam sterilization pressure, and the pressure between the outer can (1) and the inner can (2) is increased. It is fed into the jacket (6). There, the steam heats the inside of the sterilization chamber (7), and a part of it becomes drain and is discharged from the outer can steam trap 00). Each step is performed in the order shown in FIG. 2 after the inside of the jacket reaches a predetermined steam sterilization pressure.

In the preheating process, high-pressure steam in the jacket (6) is used as a heat source, and radiant heat transfer via the coating layer (4) on the inner wall surface or the plate-shaped heat transfer plate and convective heat transfer in the sterilization chamber (7) are performed. As a result, the object to be sterilized (8) is quickly heated to a temperature at which no dew condensation occurs even when the steam comes into contact with the object (8), or a temperature at which it can be dried in a subsequent drying process even if dew condensation occurs. This promotes radiant heat transfer and shortens the preheating time for the object to be sterilized (8). Note that if the steam is heated to a temperature at which it does not condense in the preheating step, the subsequent drying step can be omitted and the sterilization time can be further shortened.

9), the pressure is reduced to a predetermined pressure, and then the electric valve (2)
The process of supplying steam to a predetermined pressure is repeated for a predetermined time, but the temperature of the object to be sterilized (8) is close to the previous preheating temperature, and during the vacuum process, the coating layer (4)

Drain generated in the sterilization chamber (7) is discharged from the internal steam trap 00. After the sterilization process is completed, the steam in the sterilization chamber is discharged through the electric valve a, and sterile air flows into the can through the sterile filter Q3), bringing the sterilization chamber to atmospheric pressure.

Dry the items to be sterilized repeatedly for several hours. At this time, due to the radiant heat from the coating layer or plate-shaped heat exchanger plate that promoted radiant heat transfer,
Items to be sterilized can be quickly dried.

By forming the steam sterilizer into a steam sterilizer, it is possible to quickly heat the objects to be sterilized without installing ancillary equipment such as a heater or heat exchanger inside or outside the steam sterilizer, thereby shortening the time for preheating and drying processes. .
