Process and apparatus for steam sterilization, in particular for dental uses

摘要

The apparatus comprises at least two discharge ducts (10, 11) to be selectively activated in succession. Disposed in the second discharge duct (11) are a condenser (19) and a vacuum pump or other suction means (21) that are not concerned with discharging of the condensate, said condensate discharging mainly taking place through the first discharge duct (10). Simultaneously with the condensate discharging, suction of air by the pump (21) is carried out and the vacuum is created in the second discharge duct (11), so that subsequent steam discharging and recondensing are promoted. <IMAGE>
