Abstract

The invention relates to a method in autoclaves, the autoclave being divided into imaginary areas, the areas being heated by the feeding of steam into the areas in order to heat goods which have been placed in the autoclave so that it reaches sterilising temperature, whereby the feeding of heat between the areas is controlled. Such control is effected by successive registration of the temperatures in the areas and when the temperatures differ between the areas, the feeding of steam to the area which temporarily has a higher temperature is ceased, and as soon as the temperature in the adjacent area has passed the last mentioned temperature, the feeding of steam to that same area is resumed. In a device for the carrying out of the method, a temperature meter is arranged in each area. These meters are connected to a control unit, which is arranged to register the measured temperatures given by the meters and to control the function of the valves in the steam feeding pipes to the areas according to the method of the invention.
