Outlet device for disinfection apparatus and method for liquid transfer

摘要

An embodiment of the present invention discloses a method for liquid transfer and a liquid disinfection apparatus for cleaning of objects, such as health care objects. The disinfection apparatus includes a chamber which is arranged to receive said objects for cleaning, a spray system including nozzles for distributing liquid in the chamber, and an outlet tank connected to a sewer system. The chamber is adapted to receive a liquid volume which is being circulated by the spray system including nozzles for cleaning of objects. In at least one embodiment, the disinfection apparatus further includes a rapid transfer port which is liquid flow connected between the chamber and an outlet tank so as to constitute an immediate transfer of the first volume from the chamber to the outlet tank, essentially without any tubing arranged between the chamber and the outlet tank.

主权项

1. A liquid disinfection apparatus for cleaning of objects, comprising:
a chamber, arranged to receive said objects for cleaning; at least one door configured to seal said chamber; an inlet tank positioned above the chamber; a controllable inlet port fluidly connecting the inlet tank to the chamber to introduce a liquid volume into the chamber; a spray system including nozzles for distributing the liquid volume in said chamber for cleaning of the objects; an outlet tank fluidly coupled to the chamber, the outlet tank being connected to a sewer system; a controllable outlet port fluidly connecting the chamber and the outlet tank, the controllable outlet port being configured to transfer liquid at a flow velocity above 1 liter per second; and an outlet sealing element controllably arranged at the controllable outlet port for sealing the controllable outlet port, wherein the outlet tank, downstream of a passage formed between the chamber and the outlet tank when the sealing element is in its open position, is at least partly frustum conical in shape to efficiently receive the liquid volume from the chamber.
