Autoclave Cycle Design - Wet Loads, Superheat and Equilibration Time Failures

22/1/2021

0 Comments

 
Picture
You can tell a lot from an Autoclave Cycle design profile!

Often issues with Wet Loads, Superheat and Equilibration times failures are ‘resolved’ by cycle modification. This can be an extension of drying cycle, pulsing, heat up phase modifications or jacket temperature changes.
​
It’s important to fully understand the implications of the changes you make to your autoclave cycle. When failures arise we can often trace these back to cycle modifications in the past. Often these were thought to resolve historic failures, but often mask the real problem and lead to future failures.

Picture
​If you experience any problems with Superheat, Wet Loads or Equilibration time failures please call us. Our lead consultant Chris Maughan would be more than happy to help identify the root cause of failures and provide advice on the best way to resolve the issue without impacting the performance of the cycle.

Thermal Compliance provide remote validation services, to help reduce the number of site visits to your facility.

We use the same high quality equipment from Ellab, Kaye and Vaisala to deliver thermal validation on a wide variety of systems including:
​
  • Autoclaves
  • Fridges, Freezers, Incubators and Ovens
  • Cold Stores, Warehouses
  • Freeze Driers
Picture
Picture
We work by writing and pre approving protocols for your testing and then shipping pre programmed equipment to site. Your technicians are trained online in the execution of the testing and the completion of the protocol. They perform some simple testing and return the equipment to us. We will download the data and write up the testing.

Our training platform www.thermalcompliance.com allows trainees to learn at their own pace and review any of the training material during the testing. On successful completion trainees will receive a certificate of completion to add to the protocol.
