Sterilizer Manufacturer:
Pelton & Crane
Model of Sterilizer:
OCR
Problem Title:
Pelton and Crane OCR not filling consistently
Problem Description:
Unit is not filling consistently. When you turn the knob to fill, sometimes it will fill and randomly it will not.
Reasons
1. There are many possible ways for this issue.

First of all, make sure there is no pressure inside the chamber. You can be easy to check by opening the door, then the pressure will drop to 0.

Mostly the filling system has some dirty in, which sometimes blocks the filling system. Sometimes no. I suggest the customer to run a chamber cleaner first.

If this does not work, then it maybe the problem from the valve, or something else.

Solutions

1. There are many possible reasons as stated above. However it is highly recommended to check its piping system first to make sure it is clean. Does the sterilizer have a regular routine maintenance? If possible, run a chamber cleaning cycle first.
