INDUSTRY COMPONENT

CO₂ Injection Nozzle

Precision nozzle for controlled CO₂ injection in carbonation systems

Component Specifications

Definition
A specialized industrial component designed to inject carbon dioxide (CO₂) into liquids within a carbonation chamber, featuring precise flow control, uniform dispersion, and pressure regulation to achieve consistent carbonation levels in beverage production.
Working Principle
Operates by receiving pressurized CO₂ from a supply system, then using internal orifice geometry and flow channels to create fine bubbles or mist that dissolve efficiently into the liquid, with adjustable flow rates controlled by valves or pressure differentials.
Materials
Stainless steel 316L (food-grade), PTFE seals, ceramic orifice inserts for wear resistance, FDA-compliant polymers for gaskets
Technical Parameters
  • Flow Rate 5-50 L/min CO₂
  • Surface Finish Ra ≤ 0.8 μm
  • Connection Type 1/4" NPT or Tri-Clamp
  • Orifice Diameter 0.5-2.0 mm
  • Temperature Range 0-80°C
  • Operating Pressure 2-6 bar
Standards
ISO 22000, DIN 11864, ASME BPE

Frequently Asked Questions

How does nozzle orifice size affect carbonation?

Smaller orifices create finer bubbles for faster CO₂ dissolution and smoother texture, while larger ones allow higher flow rates but may produce coarser carbonation.

What maintenance is required for CO₂ injection nozzles?

Regular cleaning to prevent clogging from mineral deposits, inspection of seals for leaks, and orifice wear checks every 500 operating hours.

Can I contact factories directly?

Yes, each factory profile provides direct contact information.
