Abstract
The aim of the invention is to create a steam sterilizer that, among other things, is independent from fresh water connections. To this end, a steam sterilizer is provided that comprises at least one sterilization reservoir (1), which obtains its sterilization steam by means of a steam generator (2), a vacuum pump (6) for evacuating the sterilization reservoir (1), and a cooling system (9).

Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind den schematisch dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen zu entnehmen. Darin zeigt:Further advantageous embodiments of the invention can be found in the schematically illustrated exemplary embodiments. It shows:
FIG 1 Kühlung des Betriebswassers und des Sterilisationsdampfes durch ein Kälteaggregat, FIG 2 Kühlung des Betriebswassers und des Sterilisationsdampfes mit Peltierelementen, FIG 3 Vorkondensation des Sterilisationsdampfes durch ein Kälteaggregat oder Peltierelemente.1 cooling of the process water and the sterilization steam by means of a refrigeration unit, FIG. 2 cooling of the process water and sterilization steam using Peltier elements, FIG. 3 precondensation of the sterilization steam by means of a refrigeration unit or Peltier elements.
FIG 1 zeigt einen Dampfsterilisator mit einem Sterilisationsbehälter 1 in den über einen Dampferzeuger 2 aus einem Vorratsbehälter 3 destilliertes Wasser zugeführt wird. Der Dampf wird über eine prinzipiell dargestellte Leitung 4 mit Ventilelementen 5 abgesaugt. Die Absaugung geschieht durch eine Flüssigkeitsringpumpe 6. Die Betriebsflüssigkeit, insbesondere Wasser wird über eine Leitung 7 in einen Betriebswasserbehälter 8 geführt, in dem es durch ein Kälteaggregat 9 gekühlt wird. Das gekühlte Betriebswasser wird über eine weitere Leitung 10 wieder der Flüssigkeitsringpumpe 6 zugeführt. Damit wird das Betriebswasser sehr kalt gehalten, wodurch sich die Kennlinie der Flüssigkeitsringpumpe 6 aufgrund des Kondensationseffekts stark verbessert. Die Aufstellung des Dampfste- rilisators wird somit ortsunabhängig da kein Wasseranschluss notwendig ist. Falls sich zuviel Betriebsflüssigkeit im Betriebswasserbehälter 8 befindet kann ein nicht näher dargestellter Sammelbehälter vorgesehen sein, um das Betriebswasser über einen Leitung 11 abzuleiten. Destilliertes Wasser wird gegebenenfalls im Vorratsbehälter 3 ergänzt.1 shows a steam sterilizer with a sterilization container 1 into which distilled water is supplied from a storage container 3 via a steam generator 2. The steam is sucked off via a line 4 shown in principle with valve elements 5. The suction is done by a liquid ring pump 6. The operating liquid, in particular water, is fed via a line 7 into an operating water tank 8, in which it is cooled by a cooling unit 9. The cooled process water is fed back to the liquid ring pump 6 via a further line 10. The operating water is thus kept very cold, as a result of which the characteristic curve of the liquid ring pump 6 is greatly improved due to the condensation effect. The installation of the steam sterilizer is therefore location independent since no water connection is necessary. If there is too much operating fluid in the operating water tank 8, a collecting tank (not shown in more detail) can be provided in order to discharge the operating water via a line 11. If necessary, distilled water is added to storage container 3.
In FIG 2 ist ergänzend zu der Ausführung gemäß FIG 1 das Kälteaggregat 9 durch ein Kühlelement 12 ersetzt, das Kühlrippen 16 zur Wärmeabstrahlung über Konvektion und Peltierelemente 13 zur Kühlung des Betriebswassers aufweist. Die Abwärme der Peltierelemente 13 kann zur Vorwärmung 14 des destillierten Wassers herangezogen werden.
FIG 3 zeigt einen Sterilisatorbehälter 1 bei dem die Evakuierung durch einen trockenlaufende oder ölgeschmierte Vakuumpumpe 15 erfolgt. Dabei wird die Kühlung bzw. Kondensation und/oder Abscheidung des Dampfes u.a. durch ein bereits wie oben beschriebenes Kühlsystem herbeigeführt. Das dabei gewonnene Wasser wird vorzugsweise nach außen abgleitet. Um ein autarkes System zu schaffen, ist es vorgesehen, dieses Wasser z. B. einer Filteranordnung zuzuführen um destilliertes Wasser wieder herzustellen, das dem Sterilisationsprozess zu- führbar ist.
In FIG. 2, in addition to the embodiment according to FIG. 1, the cooling unit 9 is replaced by a cooling element 12, which has cooling fins 16 for heat radiation via convection and Peltier elements 13 for cooling the process water. The waste heat from the Peltier elements 13 can be used for preheating 14 the distilled water. 3 shows a sterilizer container 1 in which the evacuation is carried out by a dry-running or oil-lubricated vacuum pump 15. The cooling or condensation and / or separation of the steam is brought about, inter alia, by a cooling system as already described above. The water obtained is preferably drained to the outside. In order to create a self-sufficient system, this water is provided, for. B. to supply a filter arrangement to restore distilled water that can be supplied to the sterilization process.
