We found a good presentation of the fundamentals of steam sterilization. But our experience differs from the author\u2019s conclusions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We All Agree on the Fundamentals<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you are looking for a solid discussion of the basic foundations of steam sterilization and steam generation, this article has that. And we couldn&#8217;t agree more with the following statement:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>&#8220;A failed sterilization cycle is the greatest potential source of wasted energy, effectively doubling power consumption by necessitating a repeat cycle.&#8221;\u00a0\u00a0<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Amen! Autoclave reliability is fundamental. In fact, this is among the most common reasons our customers cite for switching to a Priorclave: <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Their previous autoclave had proven unreliable<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But from there, we part ways with this article. This ultimate claim is that a heavy-chambered, jacketed rectangular autoclave will be more efficient than a comparable cylindrical autoclave. The author offers two reasons:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A heavy chamber is better at retaining heat. This will hypothetically make it more reliable at successfully sterilizing its loads, because it will more easily maintain sterilizing temperatures.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When comparing front-loading sterilizers, a rectangular pressure vessel is usually easier to load efficiently. With less wasted space, you use less energy per sterilized item.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">These are both interesting hypotheticals.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But they don&#8217;t reflect reality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Real-world side-by-side trials have shown the opposite is true: <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><i>Light-weight cylindrical chambered autoclaves consistently outperform comparable jacketed rectangular-chambered models.<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Energy Efficient Autoclaves: Strong Evidence for Cylindrical Autoclave Efficiency<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In 2016 the University of California (Riverside) replaced one of their existing jacketed rectangular autoclaves with a comparable cylindrical unit. (That is, they selected a somewhat larger cylindrical autoclave, so that the two units would be able to sterilize similar sized loads. As the article correctly points out, a cylindrical chambered autoclave needs to be larger in order to process the same sized load.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the first 26 weeks of their test, UC-Riverside found that <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/chesc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/UCR-Autoclave-study-2016-PROCUREMENT-DF.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">the non-jacketed cylindrical unit used 81 percent less energy and 93 percent less water than a comparable jacketed rectangular model<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Over the next ten months they found that the cylindrical autoclave ultimately used 83% less energy than the rectangular model. It also used 97% less water.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1402\" style=\"width: 611px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1402\" class=\"wp-image-1402\" src=\"https:\/\/www.priorclave.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/08\/UCR-Autoclave-study-2016-PROCUREMENT-DF-pg11_12-1024x578-1-1024x578.png\" alt=\"Energy Efficient Autoclaves\" width=\"601\" height=\"339\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.priorclave.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/08\/UCR-Autoclave-study-2016-PROCUREMENT-DF-pg11_12-1024x578-1.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.priorclave.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/08\/UCR-Autoclave-study-2016-PROCUREMENT-DF-pg11_12-1024x578-1-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.priorclave.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/08\/UCR-Autoclave-study-2016-PROCUREMENT-DF-pg11_12-1024x578-1-768x434.png 768w, https:\/\/www.priorclave.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/08\/UCR-Autoclave-study-2016-PROCUREMENT-DF-pg11_12-1024x578-1-64x36.png 64w, https:\/\/www.priorclave.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/08\/UCR-Autoclave-study-2016-PROCUREMENT-DF-pg11_12-1024x578-1-128x72.png 128w, https:\/\/www.priorclave.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/08\/UCR-Autoclave-study-2016-PROCUREMENT-DF-pg11_12-1024x578-1-240x135.png 240w, https:\/\/www.priorclave.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/08\/UCR-Autoclave-study-2016-PROCUREMENT-DF-pg11_12-1024x578-1-320x181.png 320w, https:\/\/www.priorclave.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/08\/UCR-Autoclave-study-2016-PROCUREMENT-DF-pg11_12-1024x578-1-360x203.png 360w, https:\/\/www.priorclave.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/08\/UCR-Autoclave-study-2016-PROCUREMENT-DF-pg11_12-1024x578-1-375x212.png 375w, https:\/\/www.priorclave.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/08\/UCR-Autoclave-study-2016-PROCUREMENT-DF-pg11_12-1024x578-1-480x271.png 480w, https:\/\/www.priorclave.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/08\/UCR-Autoclave-study-2016-PROCUREMENT-DF-pg11_12-1024x578-1-540x305.png 540w, https:\/\/www.priorclave.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/08\/UCR-Autoclave-study-2016-PROCUREMENT-DF-pg11_12-1024x578-1-640x361.png 640w, https:\/\/www.priorclave.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/08\/UCR-Autoclave-study-2016-PROCUREMENT-DF-pg11_12-1024x578-1-720x406.png 720w, https:\/\/www.priorclave.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/08\/UCR-Autoclave-study-2016-PROCUREMENT-DF-pg11_12-1024x578-1-800x452.png 800w, https:\/\/www.priorclave.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/08\/UCR-Autoclave-study-2016-PROCUREMENT-DF-pg11_12-1024x578-1-960x542.png 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 601px) 100vw, 601px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1402\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">rectangular vs. cylindrical autoclave energy &amp; water consumption<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Most importantly, in UC Riverside&#8217;s study, the two autoclaves performed with equal effectiveness\u2014neither failed loads more often.

A rectangular vessel autoclave is indeed easier to <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">load<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u2014which also means it\u2019s easier to
