ABSTRACT:
A shelf supports a load in such a steam environment as a steam sterilizer. The shelf includes at least one load supporting member which has a thermally efficient configuration. Accordingly, the shelf members may be tubular, may have channels with U-shaped cross sections, may be beams having an inverted T-shaped cross section or may be a tray having a plurality of U-shaped channels. Thus, the surfaces of each load supporting member are so adapted that formation of condensation on the surfaces is inhibited. In addition, the members are designed to retain at least a portion of the condensation formed on the surfaces of the members and direct to a desired location any condensation that cannot be held by the load supporting member.
