Incorporating Dry Vapor Steam into Disinfection Processes Against SARS-CoV-2
A dry vapor steam cleaner or generator is designed to produce saturated and superheated steam typically with pressures ranging between 60–145 psi and temperatures in the range of 307–363 °F. Dry vapor steam refers to water in its purely gaseous state, being completely heated above and beyond the 212 °F/ 100 °C boiling point. It has relatively low pressure but high temperature ratings.
Dry vapor steam is widely used in food, beverage, and other manufacturing industries for its natural (thermal) sanitizing effects and has gained popularity among mobile washers as a result of its (water) runoff-free cleaning process.
