Water cooled co2 generator ??

[nightridda]

Please help I was looking through co2 things and this came up. Does this actually make and push co2 or do I still need a co2 source meaning thus only cools the gas generator ?? Or is this a whole different method of making a co2.

How does it work?

No it's a watercooled propane or natural gas burner that produces co2 . Watercooling it removes the heat from the burners . You also would need a resovior and chiller or a cold water source to cool it . I much rather bottled co2 anyway though

I ran bottles for years. 2-50 pound cylinders would last me almost a grow. Been using a 3 burner propane generator and now a 20 pound cylinder gets me through a grow.

eebbnflow is correct in how it works. Personally I don't want to go the water cooled route.

I have two 8x8 flower rooms and a 8×8 veg room. I was told I would need a bottle per room per every two weeks. That's 12 bottles a month.. idk what would be the best route for me so I left it as co2 from outside air being pulled in... what do you guys think I should do

Get a co2 burner. Hella lot cheaper
Wouldn't worry about co2 in veg. A waste really.

make no mistake. thats just a fucking tankless water heater.

you plumb it in like any fucking tankless water heater except you dont run the flue gasses out the roof.

you could actually plumb that hot water back into your central water heater. circulation pump would need to develop decent head though. the heat exchanger/solenoids are quite restrictive.

I would need a co2 burner for each 8x8 flower room? And what would be my best method of burning seeing as I have electric and oil heat. I don't have natural gas or propain ..
