Using CO2 cylinders to run air tools [was; Blowing drains]
Sounds like you need an evaporator. Or, a fan to blow on the
regulator. -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. "The Daring Dufas" wrote in message ... The problem with higher volume is that the line and regulator get very cold and icy unless designed for the job. One day I'll come up with a gadget that will flash high volume cold CO2 into nice warm high pressure gas. TDD |

Bob What I have is a regulator like this one: http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/items/5KZ37 The regulators used on soft drink dispensers are good enough for inflating tires and blowing dirt out of things but don't have the flow for a lot of other things. Most look like this one: http://tinyurl.com/n8kkue TDD |

Most look like this one: http://tinyurl.com/n8kkue TDD I use an ancient 2-stage oxygen regulator for CO2 (I changed it out with a CO2 connector) but I only use it for low-volume stuff, like carbonating beverages or occasionally inflating a tire. I bought a medical oxygen regulator/flowmeter (cheap) to try with CO2, but it will take a little more work to convert it because it has nonstandard threads where the tank nipple screws into the regulator body.
