HP-N38 is model 3 of 5 in the HP-N36–N40 group – a horizontal autoclave with a white cylindrical chamber on an open steel frame, loaded from the front. The open frame leaves the pipework and lower vessel in view for routine inspection; the HP-N38 manual gives the service access points.
Key Features
- High-capacity layout – built for central sterile supply and high-volume loads.
- Open steel frame – as pictured, the chamber and a lower vessel are carried on an open frame, with the control box on the front of the lower section.
- Five models, one design – HP-N38 sits between HP-N37 and HP-N39; compare neighboring data sheets.
- No chemical sterilant – steam and pressure do the work; the running inputs are water and heat.
Applications
HP-N38 suits facilities that sterilize in fewer, larger batches: regional and teaching hospitals, surgical centers and university or research laboratories. Teaching hospitals equipping a new CSSD line can compare HP-N38 with HP-N37 and HP-N39 to settle the chamber size.
How to specify when requesting a quote
- Model – quote HP-N38; add HP-N37 and HP-N39 if you are still choosing a size.
- Installation space – floor area, door-swing clearance, floor loading, drainage and ventilation for HP-N38.
- Chamber size – ask for the usable diameter and depth of HP-N38 and check your largest tray or drum fits.
- Power supply – state your mains voltage, frequency and plug type; we confirm the supply HP-N38 is built for.
- Quantity – units of HP-N38 and any HP-N models to ship together.

An autoclave is both a pressure vessel and an electrical appliance, and import rules differ by country. Tell us where HP-N38 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-N38 is a horizontal autoclave; compare it with the HP-N07–N23 vertical group if you are unsure which format fits.
+How do you operate a horizontal autoclave?
Operation follows a fixed sequence: pre-checks, loading, door sealing, program start, hold, exhaust and cool-down, then unloading once pressure is zero. Record each cycle. The HP-N38 manual defines the exact steps and settings.
+What is a horizontal autoclave?
It is a front-loading autoclave with a horizontal cylindrical or rectangular chamber, used where large trays, packs and drums are sterilized in volume. HP-N38 belongs to the HP-N36–N40 group of horizontal pressure steam sterilizers.
+How does HP-N38 compare with the other HP-N36–N40 models?
HP-N38 is the third of five models built on the same horizontal body. Its published name does not state a volume, so we confirm chamber size, heating power, weight and packed dimensions for HP-N38 – and for HP-N37 and HP-N39 if you want to compare – in the quotation.
