- Typical capacity
- For this class of equipment, internal chamber volumes typically range from 20 to 100 litres, accommodating various batch sizes.
- Power supply
- Units commonly operate on standard industrial single-phase (230V) or three-phase (400V) electrical supplies, depending on heating element requirements.
- Temperature range
- Operating temperatures for acid steaming cycles typically reach up to 120-150°C.
- Materials of construction
- Chambers and wetted parts are commonly constructed from acid-resistant materials such as PTFE, PFA, or specific grades of stainless steel.
- Footprint
- Benchtop or small floor-standing designs are common for this type of system, requiring a moderate laboratory footprint.
- Acid compatibility
- Systems are typically designed for use with dilute inorganic acids such as nitric acid, hydrochloric acid, or hydrofluoric acid.
