Carbonators - in-line gas introduction (AE)

Carbonators - in-line gas introduction for clear liquids

The AE carbonator is designed to inject a gas into a clear liquid in line.

The gas is introduced into the carbonator through a side inlet and diffused into the liquid through a poral disc (version A) or an injection sleeve perforated with calibrated holes (version D). The particular profile of the carbonator optimises the dissolution of the gas in the product and limits the expansion of the saturated liquid at the equipment outlet. The AE carbonator is fitted with welding male parts on the liquid inlet and outlet, and on the gas inlet. A drain cock on the injection chamber allows the cleaning solution to be evacuated from the chamber when the line is cleaned.

The rate of gas saturation of the liquid is determined by the flowrate, the temperature of the liquid and the gas pressure. There are several supports available for determining these values according to the level of saturation required. The AE carbonator can be integrated into a XAE-type assembly incorporating automatic adjustment and in-line measurement control.
