  • 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.

  • Patent number: 4936343
    Abstract: A carbon dioxide fill manifold which is designed to provide an 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. The carbon dioxide fill manifold includes a fill line having a fill line valve therein for introducing liquid carbon dioxide into the system, one or more liquid chambers communicating with the fill line for receiving and storing liquid carbon dioxide, a liquid transfer line extending from the fill line to an atomizer, a service line connected to the atomizer and fitted with at least one vapor container for receiving gaseous carbon dioxide generated in the atomizer and a service line valve provided in the service line for servicing the end user with gaseous carbon dioxide.
