The steam generation system has a fluid connection to a water source (1) to provide water to a venturi apparatus (27) for the selective creation of a vacuum in a sterilization chamber (71). A fluid connection to a particle filter (33) and a reverse osmosis filter (37) is also provided and water passed through the filters is delivered by a metering pump (53) to a steam generating apparatus (59) which in turn supplies steam to a the chamber (71). The chamber (71) is provided with a discharge conduit including a mixing chamber (31) and a split tubing air break (131).Field of SearchUsing direct contact steam to disinfect or sterilizeControls flow rate of a material to or from a contact zone Material is an input to contact zone Control element responds proportionally to a variable signal from a sensor Including gas generating means Heat treating vessel with heating means And vaporizer; e.g., boiler, etc. Constituting treating chamber FLASHER Vaporizer Liquid evaporant (e.g., water, etc.) With internal heating element Flash chamber | |
