10 and 20 Gallon Under Sink EDS
| Under Sink EDS Technical Information | |
|---|---|
| Capacity | 10 gal (38L) or 20 gal (76L) |
| Operating Temperature | 200-204 degrees F (93-96 degrees C) |
| Power | 220 v.a.c., 30 amp (10) or 50 amp (20) single phase, 50/60 Hz; other voltages available |
| Water | 30-100 psi, 1/2" water supply at 2 gpm minumum flow rate, antibacksiphon required |

50 and 100 Gallon Thermochemical EDS
This Thermo-Chemical EDS is compact and is designed to fit into a tight space. It utilizes our fast heating internal steam coils and all components are easily accessible for monitoring and maintenance. There are systems on the market that are not only extremely difficult to service, but they are dangerous to service. This system is also expandable and is shown below in its 100 gallon redundant cooker configuration (two 50 gallon cookers). Treatment is achieved by thermal reaction in a 60 minute cook cycle (user adjustable for more cook time), but it also features an automated chemical injection system for true Thermo-Chemical process results.
150 Gallon Thermo-Chemical EDS
Our original Thermo-Chemical EDS was a 150 gallon system identical to the one shown below. We were approached to build a chemical only system to keep costs down and we communicated to the client that there was no way to do this type of system safely. A high temperature system was out of the budget, and we analyzed the type of work that was going on in the lab. It was then that we decided to build our Thermo-Chemical system. This first installed system now has more than 70 cycles and has met our expectations in early tests. Results of these tests will be published in October by the customer. Efficiency in a one hour thermal-only cycle is remarkable and with a chemical catalyst is equivalent to very high temperature EDS systems.
