The invention relates to the field of medical equipment, namely to facilities for the disposal of infected medical waste. An apparatus (2) for thermal disinfection and destruction of medical waste (hereinafter referred to as the apparatus), a control unit (3) and a filtration system unit (4) were mounted on a common platform (1) of the installation. The apparatus has a heat chamber (5) with a cover (6), external and internal cases (7 and 8), made in the form of glasses installed one in the other with gaps (9 and 10) between them. The apparatus also includes an air distributor (13), made in the form of an axial perforated tube. A perforated tube (15) is installed coaxially with the air distributor (13), which serves as a protective casing. The device is equipped with flexible electric heating elements (11, 12, 14), respectively, on the outer surface of the inner case, under its bottom and on the air distributor. The upper part of the body forms a chamber (16) for collecting gases generated during waste treatment. The device has a closed air circulation system, equipped with ventilation pumps (20) with discharge pipes (21), which supply air to the air distributor (13). Ventilation pumps (20) are located under the bottom of the outer casing. The air intakes (22) of the suction pipes (23) are located in the gap between the bottoms of the housings. Holes (24) are made in the upper part of the cylindrical walls of the inner case, which allow air to flow from the inner volume of the heat chamber into the gap between the cylindrical walls of the outer and inner cases. The device has improved energy characteristics. Achievable technical result - ensuring a uniform temperature distribution over the internal volume of the heat chamber while reducing heat loss.Изобретение относится к области медицинской техники, а именно к установкам для утилизации медицинских инфицированных отходов.
