Unlike traditional steam sterilizers in which air is removed before sterilization, the GEV keeps air in the chamber to provide counter pressure (and other functions) during the process. To maintain homogeneity and provide rapid processing, centrifugal fans, driven by a powerful external motor are installed at the top of the chamber. Internal panels (liner) duct the circulating environment. Heating is by direct steam injection and cooling is by densely packed batteries of seamless stainless steel tube carrying cooling water.

Key Features:

• Centrifugal fan driven by powerful (typ. 7kW) motor via a purpose designed mechanical seal
• Internal liner system to control airflow and ensure homogeneity
• Batteries of stainless steel heat exchangers for rapid cooling. No internal chamber connections.
