Large Tanks And Co2

[Behold]

Sorry not that post. I think it was on UKAPS you posted it mounted inline. maybe it was not you.

As to how it work i meant how is the CO2 diffused?? is the Ceramic tube fixed??? hows the CO2 introduced to the main flow....

The hosetails go into the ceramic tube. The outside of the tube fills with water when there is no CO2 there as there is no pressure. When the CO2 starts to come the pressure pushes the water back through to into the centre of the tube and for the remainder of the injection the CO2 pumps into the outside and gradually the pressure pushes through the pores of the ceramic tube into the water flow where they then get taken with the flow up the hose and into the tank.

Similar principle as a disc diffusor. When the CO2 stops injecting the pressure reduces and next day the glass part under the disc is full of water, as the pressure increases during injection some of that water is pushed back out through the pores.

Think of it as 2 tubes. The inner tube has water being filled with water and the outer is being filled with gas. The ceramic tube lets the gas and water pass each way but the pressure in the gas chamber during injection is higher than the pressure of the flowing water which means that the gas is pushed through the ceramic pores into the flow. When injection stops the pressure in the gas chamber reduces and then the pressure of the water is greater so water is pushed through the pores into the gas chamber

Thanks for that. is the knoble on the right a bleed valve???

There is no need for a bleed valve!!!! Pressure building up makes the gas pass into the water through the ceramic tubes pores.

The knobble on the right is ..................where a sucker attaches.

And no editing your previous post through embarrassment.lol
