Sterilizer Manufacturer:
Pelton & Crane
Model of Sterilizer:
OCM
Problem Title:
Pelton Crane OCM - Pressure builds dangerously high
Problem Description:
My OCM reaches the properly set temperature of 260 degrees, but the pressure reaches 50 lbs. or more. I've replaced the pressure gauge and the bellows. I've blown through the piping around the bellows and water tank. Any ideas?
Reasons
1. It is unlikely that it is reaching 50 psi unless the safety valve and temperature gage are defective. Is the bellows exhausting any steam? Check tubings for blockages.

Solutions

1. You need to have another temperature gage and pressure gage to verify the readings?
