PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To speedily discharge high-pressure steam inside an autoclave instrument and to automatically replenish the prescribed quantity of water after the discharge. SOLUTION: This instrument has a main body 10 of the autoclave instrument, water tank 20 for discharging high-pressure steam from the main body 10 of the autoclave instrument and supplying water to the main body 10 of the autoclave instrument, and replenishing water tank 30 for replenishing water to the water tank 20. When a valve 11 is opened after the end of autoclave, high- pressure steam is discharged from the main body 10 of the autoclave instrument into the water tank 20, and the water in the replenishing water tank 30 is sucked and replenished into the water tank 20 by negative pressure generated near an outlet 13a of high-pressure steam. When the level of water in the water tank 20 reaches a prescribed level L1 , the water tank 20 keeps the level of water in the water tank at the prescribed level by draining the water in the water tank and when the valve 11 is opened at the time of the next autoclave, water at a level L2 is supplied into the main body 10 of the autoclave instrument. |
