摘要： A chemical vapor sterilization process is enhanced by concentrating a germicide via exploitation of the difference between the vapor pressures of the germicide and its solvent. A diffusion restriction can be placed into the diffusion path to assist this process and the path then opened to provide rapid diffusion of the thus concentrated germicide. The path through the diffusion restriction can be closed to allow the pressure in a sterilization chamber to be lowered prior to receiving the concentrated germicide.

摘要翻译： 通过利用杀菌剂及其溶剂的蒸气压之间的差异来浓缩杀菌剂来增强化学蒸气灭菌过程。 扩散限制可以放置在扩散路径中以辅助该过程，然后打开路径以提供如此浓缩的杀菌剂的快速扩散。 可以关闭通过扩散限制的路径，以便在接收浓缩杀菌剂之前使灭菌室中的压力降低。
