Abstract
The invention provides a remote non-recirculating steam and condensate collection system for sterilizer effluent. The system includes a cooling tank, apparatus for disposing of collected effluent, and the associated structures which allow for transfer of effluent from the sterilizer into the cooling tank and from the cooling tank to a disposal target. Excess liquid in the cooling tank is disposed of through a simple water displacement technique. An optional waste disposal bottle may periodically be emptied manually.
