To select the proper carbon dioxide manifold for your operation, consider these points:
- Calculate the flow (scfh) at each outlet in the piping system. Add the cubic feet per hour flow rate of each. The total will give you the volume needed per hour.
- The manifold should have enough cylinders to provide for at least one day’s carbon dioxide gas requirements.
- Heaters are recommended for withdrawal rates above 35 scfh.
