Proven Energy Savings

Autoclave replacement cuts energy costs by 90%


By replacing a 350 litre power-door autoclave with a Priorclave 450 litre autoclave York University’s Biology Department has slashed significantly the energy costs associated with running its sterilisation processes, with a massive 90% reduction in water usage.


The power-door autoclave, although only a 350 litre machine had a much larger footprint than the new autoclave from Priorclave and required a separately housed 45kW generator that ran constantly 24/7 to provide the required level of steam for sterilisation. By replacing this with the Priorclave SH450 autoclave it has given the laboratory more free-space within the actual laboratory as well as create a totally free room which housed the generator.


Side by side analysis of running costs between the new ‘self-contained’ autoclave and the original model fed with steam via the external generator show an overall saving of 56%, the major contribution to this massive saving is associated with cost of water supply and disposal, amounting to a reduction of 88% and 89% respectively. Since the University is in a hard-water area, autoclave manufacturer Priorclave recommended the fitting of a water softener, this resulted again in a very big reduction of salt requirements – a 92% cut compared to the previous operation.


The outcome was a financial saving in excess of - £6000 p.a.
