Process data
Measuring task:
Pressure measurement and point level detection
Measuring point:
Autoclave
Medium:
Water, steam
Process temperature:
+30 … + 120 °C
Process pressure:
+2 … +3 bar
Special challenges:
Steam, condensate
Application
The aluminium cans are sterilised with steam at a temperature of 120 °C and a pressure of 3 bar in an autoclave. Then, while the cans are still in the autoclave, they are cooled down with water to a temperature between 35 °C and 40 °C. They are dried and further cooled before being stacked in the warehouse. To enable a safe, optimal autoclaving process, pressure and limit level are measured.
