Keep Equipment area Well Ventilated. Carbon Dioxide can cause asphyxiation by
displacing oxygen needed for breathing, resulting in dizziness, unconsciousness, or
death. Carbon dioxide cannot be detected by the human senses and will be inhaled
like air. If adequate ventilation is not provided, the gas may displace normal air
without warning that a life-threatening atmosphere is developing. Store and use
carbon dioxide containers only in well ventilated areas.
Extreme cold can Injure Eyes and Skin. If released to atmosphere, liquid carbon
dioxide will turn to carbon dioxide snow or dry ice. Accidental contact of carbon
dioxide snow or cold gas with the skin or eyes may cause severe frostbite. If you are
accidentally exposed to cold snow or gas, consult a physician at once. Warm af-
fected areas with water that is near body temperature as a first aid measure.
For additional information on carbon dioxide, ask your supplier for a Material
Safety Data Sheet on this gas. Material Safety Data Sheets contain complete
hazard and first aid information for the product they cover. For more informa-
tion on the principles of operation and safe practices for carbon dioxide
equipment refer to the Compressed Gas Association publication G-6 avail-
able from the Compressed Gas Association Inc. 1235 Jefferson Davis
Highway, Arlington, VA 22202.
FREIGHT DAMAGE CLAIMS ARE YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. Liquid containers
are delivered to your carrier from Taylor-Wharton’s dock in new condition.
When you receive our product you may expect it to be in that same condition.
For your own protection, take time to visually inspect each shipment in the
presence of the carrier’s agent before you accept delivery. If any damage is
observed, make an appropriate notation on the freight bill. Then, ask the driver
to sign the notation before you receive the equipment. You should decline to
accept containers that show damage, which might affect serviceability.
The easycarb™ system consists of a vacuum-insulated liquefied gas container, and
its associated plumbing. The system is designed for permanent installation as a
source of gaseous carbon dioxide for soft drink carbonation. The easycarb™ unit is
manufactured to the ASME pressure vessel code.
The easycarb™ container is filled from an outside fill station without interrupting the
flow of gaseous carbon dioxide to the points of use. Two lines are permanently
attached between the easycarb™ and a lockable fill box outside the building. One
line is used to transfer liquid to the system from a distribution vehicle, the other
conducts gas vented by safety devices to the outside of the building. The fill box
station must be located for easy access by the distribution vehicle. Filling is accom-
plished by connecting a delivery unit to the fill port in this box. Liquid CO
2
is then
transferred by pressure differential.
The easycarb™ operates without the need for constant attention. Personnel working
at the use site may need to call their distributor to make occasional output pressure
regulator adjustments, but the other valves and controls on top of the container are
normally operated only when it is necessary to turn off the gas flow for maintenance,
or if the system is damaged by mishap.
