THERMODYNAMIC VACUUM
When you push START the sterilizing chamber walls begins to heat, water becomes steam, rises and compresses
cold air towards the bottom part of the chamber, as it is lighter than water. Through the steam valve (see picture no.
10 on page 64) air goes outside. When there is no more water inside, the valve rises and the autoclave begins to
raise pressure.
