Section 1 Introduction GENERAL DESCRIPTION The water-saver is an add-on system that incorporates a water ejector with a pump and a water reservoir to recirculate the water that creates the vacuum necessary for part of the sterilization cycle. The water-saver can typically save 70% of the total water used during a cycle.
Introduction MP-129 Water-Saver The operation of the MP-129 Water-Saver (see Figure 1–1) is controlled by an electromechanical pressure switch (1PS) that monitors the pressure in the sterilizer chamber. See Theory of Operation — “MP-129 Water-Saver” on page 1–5 for a detailed description. Water-Saver I/F Box 47A can be mounted at any convenient location near NOTE the water-saver.
MP-129 Series Water-Saver MP-129F Water-Saver The operation of the MP-129F Water-Saver (see Figure 1–2) is controlled by the sterilizer software. See Theory of Operation — “MP-129F Water-Saver” on page 1–6 for a detailed description. Water-Saver I/F Box 11A is mounted on the water-saver unit. Water to...
Introduction TECHNICAL DATA The water-saver should not be used with a sterilizer with Sealing Flange— NOTE for example, those installed in an area that may process Bio Hazard material or Bio-contaminated waste. If installed in a sterilizer of this type, the water-saver could become a breeding ground for bioburden, which would then be constantly recirculated through the system.
MP-129 Series Water-Saver THEORY OF OPERATION MP-129 Water-Saver Water-saver Pressure Switch 1PS determines whether the water-saver or the standard ejector in the sterilizer provides the vacuum. While the pressure in the sterilizer chamber is above 1 PSIG, Pressure Switch 1PS selects the standard ejector.
Introduction MP-129F Water-Saver Pressure values are evaluated by the sterilizer software to determine whether the water-saver or the standard ejector in the sterilizer provides the vacuum. The water-saver configuration dipswitch (DS14 on the sterilizer’s DISPSWITCHES menu) must be set to 1 in order for the water-saver to operate.
MP-129 Series Water-Saver All Models Solenoid valve 6SV, which supplies water to activate the standard ejector, is still active in the sterilizer piping system. However, 6SV is only energized during negative pulses and during the purge above the water-saver pres- sure setpoint.
BYPASS SWITCH MP-129 The toggle switch on Water-Saver I/F Box 47A permits hospital maintenance or Getinge USA service personnel to switch off the water- saver as a vacuum source and use the sterilizer’s standard ejector with external water supply. Figure 1–5. BYPASS SWITCH (MP-129 Only)
800 Series sterilizer, follow the instructions in Section 3. High-vacuum sterilizers (x33 or xx33 models) benefit most from the use of the water-saver. However, the water-saver can be installed on any Getinge USA sterilizer that uses a water ejector as its vacuum source.
