OVERVIEW

Reliable CO2 Flow Management

The CO2-HEATER24 is an essential accessory for industrial gas applications utilizing Carbon Dioxide (CO2). CO2 is unique among industrial gases because it is stored as a liquid and expands rapidly into a gas upon release. This expansion process is endothermic, meaning it absorbs a significant amount of heat from its surroundings. In high-flow scenarios, this rapid cooling can cause the moisture in the air or the gas itself to freeze, creating dry ice blocks within the regulator or flowmeter. This phenomenon restricts flow, damages internal regulator components like diaphragms, and causes pressure fluctuations.

Designed to mitigate these thermal issues, this 24V heater installs directly inline between the cylinder valve and the pressure regulator. By pre-heating the gas before it undergoes expansion in the regulator, it ensures that the temperature remains above freezing. This protects your downstream equipment from thermal shock and mechanical stress caused by ice formation. The unit is thermostatically controlled, meaning it automatically regulates its heat output to maintain a safe operating temperature without overheating the gas, ensuring safety and efficiency in various ambient conditions.

This unit is specifically rated for 24-volt operation, making it compatible with specific industrial power setups or dedicated 24V power supplies. Its robust construction ensures longevity even in demanding workshop environments where cylinders are frequently changed and moved.

FAQ

CO2 is stored as a liquid. As it turns into a gas (expands), it absorbs heat rapidly. At high flow rates, this cooling effect is strong enough to freeze moisture in the air or the gas itself, clogging the regulator.

The heater is installed inline between the CO2 cylinder valve and your regulator. Screw the heater into the cylinder, and then screw your regulator into the heater.

This specific model requires a 24V power source. Many industrial welding machines have a 24V auxiliary output, or a separate 24V transformer can be used.

While physically possible if fittings match, it is generally unnecessary. Argon and Argon/CO2 mixes do not exhibit the same severe freezing characteristics as 100% CO2.

Most quality CO2 heaters, including this type, are thermostatically controlled to turn on when the temperature drops and turn off when the target temperature is reached.

If your porosity is caused by gas flow interruption due to a frozen regulator, yes, this heater will resolve that issue by maintaining consistent flow.

No, it is designed for indoor industrial use. While it resists shop environments, it should not be exposed to direct rain or submerged.

Standard CO2 heaters typically utilize CGA-320 connections, which is the standard for Carbon Dioxide cylinders in North America.
