Maximum PSI Pressure created by DIY CO2
Does anyone know what kind of PSI pressure I could expect to get from using
DIY CO2. I'm not only talking about the initial burst of CO2 usuall ountered, but how much PSI does the fermentation process produce though out it's life. I'm just wondering about estimates (ie: 1-3 PSI, or like 50-70 PSI ?) Thanks, Harry P.S. I know the anwer will depend on how large the container is and how much CO2 is bled off, so let's assume a standard 2 L bottle and a bubble rate of 1 bubble every 2 seconds. Thanks again. -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 80,000 Newsgroups - 16 Different Servers! =----- |

This is a tricky question, and the correct answer is that it depends on how deep do you put the outlet of the bottle under water. If the outlet is open to the atmosphere, then the relative pressure of the fermetation process is 0 psi. This is because as soon as the yeast generate the CO2 and let it bubble out of the solution, it escape to the atomsphere, and does nothing to the internal pressure. If the inlet is a few inch below the water, then the pressure will be determine by the depth of discharge (convert inch_H2O to psi). If the outlet opening is constricted (via a needle valve, etc.), then the relative pressure will depends on the size of the opening as well as the rate (volume per hour) of CO2 generation. I can't think of anything that relate the relate pressure (not in a closed container, as you said above regarding the "initial burst".) to the volume of the container. bye -ck- |

Harry,
A few psi, say 1-5 is my experience, not measured. Jonathan "Harry Muscle" wrote in message ... Does anyone know what kind of PSI pressure I could expect to get from using DIY CO2.
