Autoclave Pressurization Systems

ASC can deliver many styles of autoclave pressurization systems.

Compression systems

ASC designs and builds a special system that can reduce overall compression costs by 30%. The CRS (Compression Reduction System) or NRS (Nitrogen Recovery System), is a proprietary multi-tank automated system that recycles autoclave pressurized media after a cycle. The system integrates with any autoclave control system and can result in tens of thousands of dollars of savings each year, depending on the duty-cycle of the autoclave.

LN2 tank and vaporizers

The most conventional approach to providing nitrogen pressure to an autoclave is by means of a liquid-nitrogen tank delivering pressurized fluid to a nitrogen vaporizer.

ASC can design and assemble a system to meet your exact specifications. Just give us your autoclave size and pressurization requirements and we'll quote a system that meets your needs.

Nitrogen manufacturing

Tired of paying for liquid nitrogen? ASC can design and manufacture a nitrogen membrane system that can create and store all the nitrogen you need for your autoclave production. ASC can design and deliver the compressors, dryers, filters, membranes, and storage vessels.

Vacuum Systems for Autoclaves and Ovens

ASC is asked by many customers to provide retrofits of existing autoclaves, including vacuum source systems, pumping systems, and other vacuum-related componentry.

Autoclave vacuum source systems

ASC's vacuum source systems are the most reliable on the market. Featuring all stainless-steel valving, tubing, and connections, these units are designed for long life and trouble-free operation.
You can select from our standard aerospace vacuum source system or the chilled trap system called VacTrap ®

Vacuum pumps and control receivers

We can design and manufacture a single or redundant pumping system to meet the needs of one or many autoclaves. The redundant vacuum pumping systems come complete with PLC, automatic switchover logic, and skid.

Cooling Systems for Autoclaves

Keep Your Autoclaves Running Cool with ASC Cooling Systems

ASC autoclave cooling systems feature industrial-grade components for reliable, continuous operation. Our systems include:

• - 304 Stainless steel cooling tank built for durability.
• - High-volume pumps that efficiently circulate water.
• - Pre-assembled valves and controls (CPC) for ease of installation.
• - Level sensors and conductivity controls (optional) to automate water quality management.

Expert Design for Any Autoclave Setup

ASC can design a centralized autoclave cooling system for facilities with multiple autoclaves to serve all your autoclave systems. Our engineering team will properly size all components, including pumps, piping, cooling towers, and heat exchangers, to meet your capacity needs.

Beat Water Quality Issues

Scale build-up in an autoclave cooling coil is a common problem caused by poor water quality. This will reduce cooling capacity and bring your cooling rates to a halt. Is scale buildup causing problems with your current cooling system? If so, call us today. ASC can assess your configuration and recommend solutions to address water quality issues like:

• - TDS (total dissolved solids) levels in the water.
• - Recommend automated descaling systems to remove existing scale.
• - Recommend advanced water treatment to prevent scale formation.
• - Provide TDS Control upgrades to monitor and control your cooling system to optimize water conditions.

With cooling systems by ASC, you get a cooling system engineered and designed for the demands of aerospace-grade composite curing autoclave applications. Contact our team today.
