1500 PPM = X
X = (5 X 1500)/1300 = 5.77 ounces.
NOTE: One pound of CO is equivalent to
approximately 8.7 cu. ft. of gas at
standard temperature and pressure.
If different hydrocarbon fuels are used,
the heat content, in terms of B.T.U.
should be taken into account. If the BTU
per hour rate is half that of ethyl alcohol,
twice as much must be burned to
generate the same approximate amount
of CO2 desired. The amount of CO2
generated depends on the carbon
content of the fuel being used. The BTU
per hour heat content can be obtained
from literature or suppliers.
2. COMPRESSED, BOTTLED CO2:
This is the second most popular method
of CO2 enrichment and provides fairly
accurate, controlled results.
Compressed CO2 comes in metal
containers under high pressure. Small
cylinders contain 20 lbs. of compressed
CO and large tanks hold 50 lbs. Pressure
ranges from 1600 pounds per square
inch to 2200 PSI.
To enrich available CO with compressed
gas, the following equipment is needed:
1. Tank of compressed CO2
2. Pressure regulator
3. Flow meter
4. Solenoid valve, (plastic or metal)
5. Short-interval 24 hr. timer capable of
having an on time variable from one to
20 minutes.
6. Connecting tubing, fittings and
adapters
PRESSURIZED CO2 ENRICHMENT
SYSTEM ARRANGEMENT
This method allows for the injection of a
controlled amount of CO2 into the
growing area at a given interval of time.
The pressure regulator reduces the
compressed gas pressure from 2200
lbs./square inch to a more controllable
amount (100 to 200 PSI) which the flow
meter can handle. The flow meter will
deliver so many cubic feet per minute of
CO2 to the plants for the duration of time
that the solenoid valve is opened. The
timer controls the time of day and length
of time that the solenoid valve is open.
To operate this CO enrichment system in
our standard 8 X 8 X 8 grow room area,
we want to add enough CO to increase
the near depleted level of 200 PPM to
1500 PPM. We must then add 1300 PPM
of CO2 to a volume of 512 cu. ft. We
would like to do this in intervals of time
relative to the natural air exchange rate
(leakage rate) to keep the CO level near
the 1500 PPM range.
Lets select an injection time interval

A pound of sugar will ferment into
approximately half a pound of ethyl
alcohol (C2H5OH) and half a pound of
CO2. One pound of CO2 makes 8.7 cubic
feet of CO2 gas at normal atmospheric
conditions. In our standard 8 X 8 X 8
grow room, you will need to generate
512 cu. ft. X .0013 (1300 PPM CO2) =
0.66 cubic feet of CO2 every four hours.
It takes time for the yeast to ferment
sugar, so the size of container you
should use in determined by dividing the
cubic feet of growing area (512 Cu. ft.)
by 32 = 16 gallons.
A convenient container to use here
would be a plastic kitchen garbage can.
These are inexpensive and easily
obtainable.
To determine how much sugar we need
for six weeks of operation or until
fermentation ceases, the following
calculations are necessary: From the
above paragraph, we need 0.66 cu. ft. of
CO2 every four hours. If one pound of
CO2 makes 8.7 cu. ft. of CO2, we will
need 0.08 lbs. of sugar, but because
every one pound of sugar only makes
1/2 lb. of CO2, we must double the
amount of sugar needed, i.e. 0.08 X 2 =
0.16 lbs. of sugar every four hours. Since
there are six four-hour periods in a 24
hour day, the amount of sugar we need
is 0.16 x 6 or 0.96 lbs. of sugar per day.
