Ambassador 100E Front Loading Autoclave by Rodwell Scientific Instruments

CYCLE PARAMETERS

• Timer: 0 to 119 minutes
• Temperature control from chamber: 100 to 137 deg.C.
• Maximum design pressure: 2.62 Bar (38 psig)

  CONTROL SYSTEM
  
  

  • MP 24 control offers up to 24 pre-set programs and many cycle options and features; see MP 24 specification for specification and pictures.
  • Pressure Gauge
  • Air Removal by upward steam displacement via free steam valve and automatic steam trap.

    SITE REQUIREMENTS
    
    

    • 6 kW Electrically Heated
    • Electricity supply: 6 kW,220/240 volt single phase supply rated at 30 amps or optional ‘9 kW high speed’ which requires 380/415 volt supply + N + E rated at 15amps per phase.
    • Other Voltages available on request.
    • Drain Service: > 32mm metal drain preferred but not essential if condense collector is specified. If the drain is of plastic construction, then a drain line condenser may be required. Drain service should be no higher than 100mm from floor level. If this is a problem please contact Rodwell because we may be able to raise the drain outlet on the autoclave to suit existing drain services. If the autoclave is connected to a main drain system, the drain should be vented to a high level outside the building to comply with regulations.
    • Water Supply: Manual Fill. However, If automatic fill is specified a water supply will be required. This should be supplied from a 15mm cold water supply, supplied via a 10 gallon header tank and terminated at a stopcock within 2 metres run of the rear of the autoclave).

      SAFETY
      
      

      • Thermal lock to prevent the chamber from being opened if the chamber or load is above 80 deg.C.
      • Pressure lock to prevent the chamber from being opened if the chamber is above 0.04 bar.
      • If either lock fails the autoclave will ‘fault’ in a safe conditions and ‘lock fault’ will be indicated on the control panel and an alarm will sound.
      • Safety devices prevent the cycle being initiated until both door bolts and the outer door lock has been closed.
      • The vessel is designed in accordance with the general requirements of BS2646 Part 1 1993 and EN61010-2-41 1996.
      • All control circuits are 24 volts.

        CONSTRUCTION
        
        The chambers and doors are constructed from stainless steel (BS1501-321 S31 where specified). The outer door is a G.R.P. moulding, which considerably reduces surface temperature. Sealing of chamber is effected by a silicone rubber "O" ring system. Closure is by means of 2 door bolts fitted with heat resistant handles, which are interlocked with the steam release vent. One door bolt is fitted with a captive bolt device to safely reduce any residual pressure for each chamber. Mounted on castors for ease of movement.
