Steam Valve for UTEHO Autoclave<\/strong> is an accessory for operating the autoclave in steam mode<\/strong>. It helps automatically release the heated air from the autoclave and then keep only hot steam inside.<\/p>\n

The valve made of stainless steel<\/strong> is suitable for UTEH<\/strong> and A series<\/strong> autoclaves that have a ball valve<\/strong> in the standard configuration. This valve is not suitable for CHE series autoclaves.<\/strong> The ball valve on which this valve is installed must always remain open during operation.<\/p>\n

Up to approximately 90\u00b0C<\/strong>, the valve remains open and releases excess air. After that, it closes and the pressure begins to rise. At 120\u00b0C<\/strong>, the working pressure in steam mode is about 1 atm<\/strong>, which significantly reduces the load on the autoclave.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Frequently Asked Questions<\/h3>\n
\n
\n
Can the steam valve also be used in water mode?<\/div>\n
No, the steam valve is designed only for operation in steam mode<\/strong>. For water mode, a nipple<\/strong> must be installed instead of the steam valve.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
If the water level in the autoclave is 8-10 cm and the bottom of the jars is partly in the water, is that acceptable?<\/div>\n
Yes, that is acceptable. The bottom of the jar may be in the water<\/strong> – this is not critical and does not affect the process.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Can a hose be connected to the steam valve to divert hot air and steam, and can it be installed horizontally?<\/div>\n
No, connecting a hose is not possible and not necessary<\/strong>. The valve also must not be installed horizontally<\/strong> – it must be kept strictly vertical<\/strong>, which is very important for correct operation.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
If a recipe in water mode requires 40 minutes at 110\u00b0C, will it be 80 minutes at 120\u00b0C in steam mode?<\/div>\n
Yes, that is correct<\/strong>. In steam mode, the holding time is approximately twice as long<\/strong>.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
How does steam mode affect the heating element service life, and should citric acid be added to the water?<\/div>\n
Steam mode does not affect the heating element service life<\/strong> – it is the same in both steam and water mode. Citric acid is recommended<\/strong> in any mode if you have hard water, as it helps protect the heating element.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Is it possible to adjust the temperature and sterilization time during autoclaving?<\/div>\n
Yes, it is possible<\/strong>.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
If the water is purified by reverse osmosis and there is no limescale, is it still necessary to add citric acid?<\/div>\n
If purified water is used, adding citric acid is no longer necessary<\/strong>.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Can an A series gas autoclave be used in steam mode, and how much water should be added?<\/div>\n
Yes, steam mode can also be used with an A series gas autoclave<\/strong>. Water must be added as described in the manual. Even if the bottom row of jars is partly in the water, this is acceptable and does not affect the result.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Can an autoclave with a steam valve also be heated electrically?<\/div>\n
Yes, it does not matter<\/strong> – it can be heated both over fire and with electricity.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Is a 2 kW heating element powerful enough for steam mode?<\/div>\n
Yes, 2 kW is completely sufficient<\/strong>.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
