Our 20' Polar(R) Bulk Transfer Hose(s) Liquid & Vapor are the perfect solution for any operation that performs bulk CO2 transfer. With a temperature range of -65 to 212 degrees Fahrenheit and a maximum working pressure of 450 PSIG, this hose is both durable and reliable. It is specifically designed for bulk CO2 transfer and features a specially formulated elastomer that is compatible with CO2 and low temperatures. The stainless steel braids and non-corrosive fittings provide additional strength and durability. Lightweight, flexible, and strong, this hose is the best choice for CO2 bulk liquid transfer.
20' Polar(R) Bulk Transfer Hose(s) Liquid & Vapor
Flexible Components brand Polar Hose overcomes the problems caused by misapplication of rubber hoses used in earlier carbon dioxide transfer applications. Typically, these were rubber hoses designed for hydraulic uses. They were not resisitant to deterioration caused when rubber comes in contact with carbon dioxide. They had reinforcing braids and fittings made from carbon steel, which were susceptible to corrosion from carbonic acid that forms when Co2 combines with moisture. They tended to crack due to the cold temperatures associated with Co2 transfer and could become stiff, brittle, and hard to handle.
Later attempts to use stainless steel cryogenic transfer hoses avoided some of these problems. Metal hose remained flexible in the cold but was much heavier and harder to handle. In addition, corrugations inside metal hose can trap solid Co2 ice, causing plugging of hose, valves, and pipes during Co2 transfer.
