PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a heat sterilization apparatus which heat-sterilizes objects by containing a large number of objects within a sterilization tank and spraying hot water toward the objects and reduces variation of the heating quantity according to the containing site of an object occurring on temperature rising.SOLUTION: The heat sterilization apparatus has a sterilization tank 1 which includes a cylindrical trunk part, a mirror plate 4 closing the deep-side end part of the trunk part, and an opening and a door 3 opening and closing the opening provided in the other end part so as to allow opening and closing of the opening. Hot water is sprayed toward objects 2 from a spray nozzle provided within the sterilization tank in a state where the objects 2 are contained in the sterilization tank 1 to heat-sterilize the objects contained in the sterilization tank. In the heat sterilization apparatus, there are provided a spray nozzle 6 for the mirror plate which sprays hot water from the inside of the sterilization tank 1 toward the mirror plate 4 and a spray nozzle 5 for the door which sprays hot water from the inside of the sterilization tank 1 toward the door 3.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】殺菌槽内に多数の被殺菌物を収容しておき、被殺菌物に向けて熱水を噴射することで被殺菌物を加熱殺菌する加熱殺菌装置において、昇温時に発生する被殺菌物の収容場所による加熱量のばらつきを小さくする。【解決手段】円筒形の胴部と、胴部の奥側端部をふさぐ鏡板4と、もう一方の端部には開口部と開口部の開閉を行う扉3を設けて開口部の開閉を可能としている殺菌槽1を持ち、殺菌槽1内に被殺菌物2を収容した状態で殺菌槽内に設けた噴射ノズルから被殺菌物2に向けて熱水を噴射して、殺菌槽内に収容している被殺菌物を加熱殺菌する加熱殺菌装置において、殺菌槽2の内側から前記鏡板4に向けて熱水を噴射する鏡板用噴射ノズル6と、殺菌槽2の内側から前記扉3に向けて熱水を噴射する扉用噴射ノズル5を設ける。【選択図】図1
