URACRS

Smart Energy and Water Recovery

URACRS is an intelligent system designed for energy and water recovery in autoclave sterilization processes

This system is integrated directly into the autoclave’s cooling and filling circuit and connects to the water recirculation process.

The PLC of the URACRS system allows all control logic to be programmed, making its installation non-invasive and fully adaptable, operating whenever the customer requires it.

How URACOOL works

1

Personalised study and equipment installation

Our team analyses each installation to integrate URACRS non-invasively into the production process, attaching it to the main system thanks to its compact design.

2

Residual heat recovery

At the end of the autoclave maintenance phase, the latent heat from the first minutes of cooling is reused for subsequent cycles, achieving significant energy savings.

3

Process water reuse

At the end of the sterilisation cycle, surplus water is stored for reuse, significantly reducing consumption and creating complete process circularity.

4

Preheating of recovered water

At the start of the cycle, an electronic pump raises the water to approx. 50°C instead of 12-15°C, achieving significant energy savings.

5

Treatment of recovered water

To ensure the quality of recovered water in subsequent processes, URACRS integrates PHEX technology for complete treatment and regeneration.

        FAQs

        How does URACRS optimise autoclave cycle times?

        +

        It uses the latent heat from cooling to preheat the water for the next cycle, reducing heating and draining times. Furthermore, it is able to reduce fill and drain times thanks to its pumping system, resulting in improved production times and therefore plant productivity.

        What impact does URACRS have on the energy consumption of the process?

        +

        By reusing latent heat and reducing cooling demand, it significantly decreases energy consumption linked to both heating and cooling of the process.

        What does URACRS contribute in terms of process traceability?

        +

        The complete digitalisation of the process through URAPP allows visualisation of operations, consumption, critical parameters, and water renewals, all in real time.

        Can URACRS be integrated into lines with multiple autoclaves?

        +

        Yes. The system autonomously manages the filling and draining cycles of multiple autoclaves, optimising joint operation. In fact, the solution increases its profitability the more autoclaves are connected to the system.

        Does URACRS help reduce the environmental impact of the sterilisation process?

        +

        Yes. It reuses water and energy, reduces discharge, and decreases the need for external resources.

        What happens to the process water once the cycle is complete?

        +

        It is accumulated in a hot tank for reuse, avoiding unnecessary discharges.

        Does URACRS require modifications to existing autoclaves?

        +

        No. The system is incorporated non-invasively into the filling and cooling circuit.

        How does URACRS affect plant productivity?

        +

        By reducing cycle times and optimising the use of water, energy, and cooling capacity, it allows significant cost reductions and increases productive capacity without expanding facilities, having a very positive impact on plant productivity.

        Does URACOOL help reduce the time dedicated to maintenance?

        +

        Yes. Due to the real-time monitoring of the installation carried out through URAPP, the customer can always know the status of the installation, making it unnecessary to carry out continuous preventive maintenance. Additionally, the elimination of chemicals and water stabilisation reduce cleaning, inspections, and unplanned downtime.
