CO2 bottle pressure gauge
Hi, sometime ago there was a discussion on the list concerning the usefulness
of CO2 pressures gauges measuring the pressure of the CO2 bottle to be able to
detect early if the bottle is empty. I think the consensus was that because
CO2 is a liquid in the bottle under the high pressure the gauge would show
full pressure almost until the bottle is empty and then fall within several
days.
Just to share my experiences:
I saw a continuous falling of the pressure indicator from full pressure to zero
pressure since 4 weeks now and today I can guesstimate ;-) that the bottle will
be empty in 3-4 days. So I find it really useful to plan the refill.
However, I had to adjust the output pressure of the regulator more often
recently. Strange thing was that the output pressure was increasing more and
more. Any explanation for this?
My setup: 1.5 kg bottle (pls. don't ask how many lbs.) and Dennerle Profi
2000 regulator with input and output pressure gauges.
