Abstract

A hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) supply arrangement which has a storage container for the H2O2 and metering valves designed to meter doses of H2O2 to a plurality of article sterilization devices. The H2O2 supply arrangement also has a line arrangement which connects the storage container to the metering valves. The line arrangement is designed so as to conduct H2O2 to the metering valves, but also to cycle H2O2 not metered or dosed out by the metering valves back into the H2O2 storage container in a cyclical manner. The H2O2 supply arrangement is designed in this manner to minimize decomposition of the H2O2, and thus minimize waste and improve accuracy of the metered doses.
