Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of high-temperature sterilization equipment technology, specifically to an air dry heat high-temperature sterilizer and its design method. Background Technology

[0002] As is well known, the air used in bio-fermentation is sterilized by sterilization equipment, typically using sterile filters. These filters contain filter cartridges, but because they have a limited sterilization efficiency, they cannot achieve 100% sterilization. Furthermore, untimely filter replacement or filter failure can lead to contamination, potentially contaminating the entire fermentation unit. Conventional dry heat sterilizers involve placing the equipment to be sterilized in a sealed chamber and heating the air to a high temperature (above 250°C) for a certain period to kill bacteria in both the equipment and the air. Existing dry heat sterilizers require a separate sterilization chamber, directly heating the air within that chamber. This results in problems such as inconsistent sterilization purposes, long sterilization times, discontinuous air flow, and poor sterilization effectiveness. In particular, the heated air needs to be cooled after sterilization, which also takes time, leading to excessively long sterilization times and ineffective sterilization. Summary of the Invention
