Manifold Vaporizer System
General
The VaporMan125 Manifold Vaporizer System is designed
to combine two bulk carbon dioxide tanks or one carbon
dioxide Perma-Cyl
®
MicroBulk Storage System tank on a
reliable, economical basis. The unit is intended to fulfill the
high flow requirements of distributors for micro-breweries,
stadium applications, industrial applications, and various
other high-flow applications.
The VaporMan 125 system comes with all the necessary
fittings to connect two Carbo-Max

VaporMan 125 system for two Carbo-Max 1000 tanks There
is also a specific part number for a VaporMan 125 system
Perma-Cyl tank
System Overview
The VaporMan 125 system consists of two vaporizers, one
parallel and one series, and a manifolding sub-assembly The
CO
2
enters the manifolding section and is combined before
being routed to the parallel vaporizer The parallel vaporizer
vaporizes the CO
2
into cold gas The cold gas then enters the
series vaporizer, which warms the cold gas to an adequate
temperature before being sent downstream to equipment
The design and construction of the VaporMan 125 system
is aimed at building the most efficient and affordable
vaporizing unit available Engineered as a complete high
flow vaporizing system, the VaporMan 125 system can be
coupled with a high flow regulator to achieve flow rates
of 125 lbs/hour (56 kg/hr) The manifolding section of the
VaporMan 125 system makes installation simple and straight
forward The unit is essentially a plug and play assembly
The vaporizers are connected in a specific order and the
vaporizer selection was intentional The parallel vaporizer is
used to vaporize the liquid into cold gas The gas is then sent
through the series vaporizer in order to warm the gas and
prepare it to be used downstream
The VaporMan 125 system is protected from over-
pressurization by a primary safety relief valve set at 350
psig This has been included for the time when the system
may be mistakenly isolated or if a blockage occurs
Physical Description
VaporMan 125 Components
The components on the manifold section can be used in three
ways:
• Two Carbo-Max 750 or 1000 tanks
• One Carbo-Max 750 or 1000 tank
• One Perma-Cyl tank
The manifold section provides four connections, a pressure
gauge and an economizer regulator The manifold section is
mounted to a panel that is conveniently located for ease of
hook up. The connections are standard 5/8" ODT 45° flare.
This is the fitting needed for the standard fill hoses that are
used on all beverage tank installations
Vaporizing Circuit
The vaporizing circuit includes two vaporizers One
vaporizer is a parallel ambient vaporizer and the other is
a series ambient vaporizer The vaporizers are connected
in order to maximize the vaporization of the product The
parallel vaporizer is used to quickly vaporize liquid into gas
The series vaporizer is used to warm the gas, not vaporize
liquid Each of the vaporizers has a 600 psi maximum
allowable working pressure
Safety Pressure Relief Section
The safety relief is a 350 psi pressure relief device This is to
relieve pressure in the event liquid were to be trapped in the
vaporizers or in case of fire.
*Each VaporMan 125 PED model is equipped with relief
devices with set pressures of 20 68 Bar
