Video: Blockage Resistance for SuperCritical CO2 Applications

Critical Back Pressure Control

  • Equilibar supercritical CO2 blockage resistant

Equilibar announces its new patent-pending BR1 Blockage Resistance Series aimed at supercritical applications such as CO2 extraction. The video linked below shows how the new design expels ice and resists blockage, even at high flow rates with Joules Thompson cooling effects. During the buildup and expulsion of ice, the pressure is maintained in a very stable range.

Equilibar BPRs have been used for many supercritical CO2 applications in research applications around the world. Our diaphragm design is known to be tolerant of two-phase flow and phase-change. For higher supercritical flow rates, however, our new BR Series allows for higher flow rates found in super-critical extraction.

See 7 minute video below. (Note: ice expulsion can be found around 4:00):

New conductive diaphragm expands ATEX compliant materials of construction

The simple design of Equilibar® valves and regulators allows for almost infinite customization so that optimal materials of construction can be selected for each application. We’re excited to introduce a new conductive diaphragm that expands our offerings of ATEX compliant materials. Background Equipment that must comply with requirements for potentially explosive atmospheres must use conductive Read More
