The Doucette Industries CO2 Vaporizer marks a major advancement in refrigeration heat recovery technology by using waste heat energy from the refrigeration system to vaporize CO2 practically and simply. The heat exchanger operates like an auxiliary condenser, and is installed in the refrigeration compressor discharge line. Designed specifically for the beverage bottling industry, this proven technology eliminates the need for an auxiliary steam or electric CO2 heating system. The compact Doucette CO2 Vaporizer converts the liquid CO2 to a gas for the bottling operation, saving considerably on expensive fossil fuels. It also protects your bottling operation from heat exchanger failure and beverage cross contamination.

3 REASONS TO CHOOSE DOUCETTE CO2 VAPORIZERS

     1. PROTECTS BEVERAGES FROM CONTAMINATION The Doucette CO2 Vaporizer's heat exchanger tubes are designed with patented double-wall stainless steel construction for an added measure of safety and reliability. Each vaporizer tube is fluted, creating a vent path between outer and inner tubes. In the unlikely event a tube leak should occur, gas vents to the atmosphere for easy detection. The system prevents contamination of the beverage from the refrigeration circuit.

     2. ELIMINATES CO2 HEATING EXPENSES Doucette CO2 Vaporizers eliminate CO2 heating expenses by utilizing hot refrigerant condensing temperatures (75 degrees F to 110 degrees F latent energy) and superheat temperatures (150 degrees F to 200 degrees F) to vaporize CO2 for bottling use. Beverage bottlers using a Doucette CO2 Vaporizer typically realize a payback period of 2 years or less through reduced energy costs.

     3. WORKS WITH ALL BRANDS OF REFRIGERATION EQUIPMENT Vaporizer design integrates with any brand of refrigeration system including Vilter, Frick, Sullair, Dunham-Bush, York, and Carrier. And it accommodates Ammonia and all Freon refrigerants including R-22 and R-404a.

APPLICATIONS AND CAPABILITIES

The Doucette CO2 Vaporizer is a special purpose refrigeration desuperheater/condenser that uses a tube-in-tube counterflow design, making heat transfer highly efficient and cost effective. Bulk CO2 that is stored at -10 degrees F must be heated to between 50 degrees F and 70 degrees F for the bottling process. Traditional methods of CO2 vaporization require either electric heaters or steam heat for this operation. Electric heaters are expensive to operate, and steam heaters require full-time boiler operation that is inconvenient and costly. Additionally, single wall heat exchangers can cause serious liability and contamination problems if a heat exchanger develops a leak or problem. Replacing your conventional vaporization equipment with a Doucette CO2 Vaporizer eliminates these costs, problems, and risks.
