  • Patent number: 5113905
    Abstract: A carbon dioxide fill manifold and method for using which is designed to provide a end-user with an uninterrupted supply of carbon dioxide gas, while at the same time eliminating the necessity of transporting individual, conventional pressurized bottles to be refilled. In a most preferred embodiment the carbon dioxide fill manifold includes a fill line valve connected to an atomizer for receiving a fill line and introducing liquid carbon dioxide into the atomizer, liquid cylinder ports provided in the atomizer for connecting a pair of liquid chambers to the atomizer and receiving and storing the liquid carbon dioxide, a gas cylinder port provided in the atomizer for connecting a vapor container to the atomizer and receiving gaseous carbon dioxide generated in the atomizer and a service line valve also connected to the atomizer for receiving a service lien valve and servicing the end user with gaseous carbon dioxide.
