Abstract

A hollow body sterilizing or disinfection method using a sterilizing agent, such as periacetic acid or hydrogen peroxide, introduced into a body at ambient pressure from a vaporizer includes supplying the sterilizing agent in the vaporizer as dry sterilizing agent vapor, the dry sterilizing agent vapor comprising vapor with a sterilizing agent quantity or vapor density that is at most equal to and preferably less than saturated vapor density such that upon introduction of the sterilizing agent vapor into the hollow body and upon subsequent expansion of the sterilizing agent vapor from a pressure in the vaporizer to ambient pressure, condensate formation occurs substantially only on a surface of the hollow body.
