Westway Aluminium CO2 Cylinder 7.5kg

Westway Aluminium CO2 Cylinder CO2 weight content: 7.5kg, Volume: 10L

Aluminium CO2 Cylinder AS2030 certified. Worksafe Approved.

Current online order price is for empty cylinders. Check with your local brew shop or aquarium store to see if they refill CO2 cylinders. All our CO2 bottles are tested and AS2030 stamped for worksafe approval, meaning Australian refill stations are legally permitted to fill these bottles. Always check gas cylinders for worksafe approval and test date.

Aluminium is the ideal material for carbon dioxide storage.

Aluminium is not typically used as the primary material for carbon dioxide (CO2) storage. Instead, materials like steel and various polymers are more commonly used for this purpose. However, aluminium is an incredibly useful material for carbon dioxide storage.

Aluminium’s properties make it useful in certain aspects of carbon dioxide storage processes:

1. Corrosion / Rust Resistance:

   Aluminum has a high resistance to corrosion, especially when compared to steel. This property can be advantageous in environments where CO2 might interact with storage containers or equipment, as it reduces the risk of degradation over time. One of the downsides to steel bottles is the risk of rust. Most steel carbon dioxide storage bottles come with a residual pressure device (RPD) to prevent water from entering the inside of the cylinder. When these devices are missing the cylinder’s stamp date is halved and the bottle is at rust of internal rusting.

2. Lightweight:

   Aluminum is lightweight compared to many other metals, which can be beneficial in applications where weight is a concern, such as in portable or mobile CO2 capture systems. This is valuable when it comes to carting many of the larger cylinders to be swapped or refilled. It turns what would otherwise require a trolley or special transport into a single person job.

3. Thermal Conductivity:

   Aluminum has good thermal conductivity, which means it can help with heat dissipation in carbon dioxide storage systems, particularly in applications where temperature control is important.
