At my work, we go through a lot of liquid CO2 (LCO2), and dealing with the 500 pound LCO2 dewars is a real pain. I'd like to look at options for us making our own LCO2 instead, but have been having trouble finding information about small-scale LCO2 generation on the web.
We use the LCO2 for rapid cooling in our reliability test ovens like the one below. The flow rates are not all that high (a 500 pound dewar can last ~ 24 hours with constant use), so I'm hopeful that some small/medium-sized machine can make the LCO2 that is needed for an oven or group of ovens.
Does anybody have any suggestions or links to vendors of small LCO2 making machines? Thanks.
