Abstract
A flash vapor generator () provides a constant flow of vaporized hydrogen peroxide for rapidly sterilizing a large decontamination tunnel () with a high container throughput. The vaporizer includes a heated block which defines an interior bore or bores. The conditions within the decontamination tunnel are carefully monitored to avoid condensation of the vapor while maintaining the vapor as close as possible to the saturation limit.
