In the medical and pharmaceutical industries, ethylene oxide (EO) sterilization technology is widely used because of its efficient and broad-spectrum sterilization performance. This technology uses ethylene oxide gas to penetrate and sterilize medical devices, pharmaceutical packaging, biological products and other items to ensure the sterility of the products, thereby ensuring patient safety and public health. In this complex and delicate sterilization process, the 2BVA6111 liquid ring vacuum pump vacuum system plays a vital role, especially in promoting the uniform distribution and penetration of ethylene oxide gas in the sterilization chamber. With.
Before discussing the role of the 2BVA6111 liquid ring vacuum pump vacuum system, it is necessary to first understand the impact of the vacuum state on the movement of gas molecules. Under standard atmospheric pressure, the distance between gas molecules is relatively large, their movement speed is slow, and their distribution is relatively uniform. However, when the ambient pressure is reduced to a vacuum state, the mean free path of the gas molecules increases, that is, the average distance traveled by the molecules between two collisions, which causes the gas molecules to move significantly faster.
During the ethylene oxide sterilization process, the 2BVA6111 liquid ring vacuum pump creates a low-pressure (or vacuum) environment by extracting the air in the sterilization chamber. This environmental change has had a profound impact on the distribution and penetration of ethylene oxide gas.
Vacuum promotes uniform distribution and penetration of ethylene oxide gas
Accelerated movement of gas molecules: In a vacuum state, the movement speed of ethylene oxide gas molecules accelerates, which helps the gas diffuse faster in the sterilization chamber. Due to the increased collision frequency between molecules, ethylene oxide gas can cover the entire sterilization space more quickly, ensuring uniformity of sterilization.
Enhanced penetrating power: The accelerated ethylene oxide molecules have stronger penetrating power and can more effectively penetrate into the tiny gaps of the items to be sterilized. These gaps are often areas that are difficult to reach with conventional sterilization methods, and the efficient penetration ability of ethylene oxide under vacuum can ensure the sterilization effect of these areas. This feature is particularly important for medical devices with complex structures or multi-layer packaging, which ensures a comprehensive and in-depth sterilization effect.
Improvement of sterilization efficiency: The vacuum environment not only accelerates the diffusion and penetration of ethylene oxide, but also shortens the time to reach the concentration required for sterilization. This means that in a shorter period of time, ethylene oxide can completely penetrate and sterilize the items to be sterilized, thereby improving sterilization efficiency and reducing energy consumption and costs.
