disinfection carried out.
When calculating the parameter, only the time intervals during which the temperature is above 65°C are considered.
For our thermal disinfection programs, the calculation is simplified by only including the "extension" phase, when the
temperature is kept constant at close to the target value set.
Programs that include thermal disinfection have therefore been designed to offer the following A
The formula for calculating A
= Time in seconds for which the disinfection temperature must be maintained.
= Disinfection temperature in °C.
T
If the temperature is 80°C, A0 is equal to the temperature maintenance time in seconds.
