HP-N22 Vertical Autoclave Sterilizer, Pressure Steam Type
Price, lead time and documents for your market are confirmed in the quotation.
Key takeaways
- Model 6 of 7 in the HP-N17–N23 group: HP-N22 is a vertical autoclave sterilizer for wards and labs.
- Shares the HP-N17–N23 body design: a hand-wheel lid, side control panel, gauge and castors.
- Quote-based supply: send quantity, voltage and destination; the data sheet and market documents come with the quotation.
HP-N22 is model 6 of 7 in the HP-N17–N23 group of vertical autoclave sterilizers. It shares the group’s hand-wheel lid, side control panel and perforated cabinet, and is one of the two models at the end of the sequence – compare its data sheet with HP-N21 and HP-N23 before you fix the order.
Key Features
- Floor-standing vertical format – larger loads than a table top unit on a small footprint.
- Castor-mounted cabinet – the product photo shows castor wheels under the cabinet, perforated lower panels and a pressure gauge on the front.
- Seven models, one design – HP-N22 sits between HP-N21 and HP-N23; compare neighboring data sheets.
- Saturated steam under pressure – the standard method for heat- and moisture-tolerant instruments, dressings and glassware.
Applications
Vertical autoclaves serve hospital wards, theatres without a central sterile department, busy clinics and microbiology labs. HP-N22 takes instrument baskets, dressing drums, textiles, glassware and media within the limits in its manual. District hospitals planning one sterilizer per ward instead of a single central unit can compare HP-N22 with the other N17–N23 models.
How to specify when requesting a quote
- Model – quote HP-N22; add HP-N21 and HP-N23 if you are still choosing a size.
- Documents – name the destination market for the pressure-vessel and electrical-safety papers that apply.
- Spare parts – gaskets, baskets or trays, fuses and heating elements to ship with HP-N22.
- Freight – ask for packed dimensions and gross weight of HP-N22 to plan courier, air or sea freight.
- Quantity – units of HP-N22 and any HP-N models to ship together.

Documents
Certificates, declarations of conformity and test reports for the specific model and destination market are provided with the quotation.
An autoclave is both a pressure vessel and an electrical appliance, and import rules differ by country. Tell us where HP-N22 will be installed and we will confirm which pressure-vessel, electrical-safety and registration documents apply; ask for the data sheet and operating manual with your quote.
Frequently asked questions
+What is the difference between a vertical and a horizontal autoclave?
The chamber orientation decides how you load: top-loading baskets in a vertical unit, front-loading racks and trays in a horizontal one. Horizontal units usually carry larger chambers and need more installation planning. HP-N22 is a vertical autoclave; compare it with the HP-N36–N46 horizontal group if you are unsure which format fits.
+What is the working principle of a vertical autoclave?
It relies on saturated steam under pressure: heating water in a sealed chamber raises pressure and therefore temperature, and moist heat at that temperature destroys microorganisms far faster than dry heat. Air removal is essential, because trapped air blocks steam contact. HP-N22 is a pressure steam sterilizer using this principle.
+How long does an autoclave take to sterilize?
Plan for the full cycle, not only the hold: heat-up and air removal, the hold at sterilizing temperature (longer at lower temperatures and for wrapped packs), then exhaust, cooling and drying. The actual cycle time of HP-N22 depends on load and model; we confirm its program data with the quotation.
+How does HP-N22 compare with the other HP-N17–N23 models?
HP-N22 is the sixth of seven models built on the same vertical body. Its published name does not state a volume, so we confirm chamber size, heating power, weight and packed dimensions for HP-N22 – and for HP-N21 and HP-N23 if you want to compare – in the quotation.
