Sub Atmospheric Cycle
This cycle operates only in negative pressure and is therefore classed as a
sub atmospheric cycle.
The number of vacuum and steam pulses depend on the density of the load and
this cycle may utilise 10 to 13 vacuum and steam pulses during the four
minute conditioning phase of the cycle, before going into the pre-heat phase
prior to the holding time.
This cycle is very effective for air removal and steam penetration into the
inside of hollow and/or complex instruments.
