Pressure steam sterilizer supply water quality indicators

A pressure steam sterilizer is a widely used device in the medical, pharmaceutical and food industries to kill bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms. The quality of the supply water is critical to ensuring an effective sterilization process. Pressure steam sterilizer supply water quality indicators include the following aspects:

1.** Purity:** supply water should have a high degree of purity, does not contain harmful microorganisms, minerals, sediments and chemicals, so as not to contaminate the material into the sterilizer.

2.**Condensate: **supply water should not be too much condensate to prevent the steam generation and delivery process to block the pipeline or valve, affecting the normal operation of the sterilizer.

3.** Hardness: **supply water hardness should be moderate, excessive hardness may lead to scale buildup inside the equipment, affecting heat transfer and sterilization effect.

4.**Chlorine content: **Chlorine content should be controlled within the appropriate range to avoid corrosive effects on the equipment, and to ensure that the steam does not contain harmful gases.

5.**pH value:** The pH value of the supply water should be within a certain range to ensure the stability of the steam generation and delivery, to avoid acid-base reaction affecting the durability of the equipment.
