Carbon dioxide absorber to preserve controlled atmosphere

The carbon dioxide absorber serves a vital role in managing Ultra-Low Oxygen (ULO) environments, especially in Dynamic Controlled Atmosphere (DCA) facilities. Its purpose is to regulate and maintain optimal carbon dioxide levels essential for various preservation techniques within controlled atmospheres, including Controlled Atmosphere (CA), Low Oxygen (LO), Ultra-Low Oxygen (ULO), and ILOS PLUS.

At its core, the absorber efficiently removes and purifies carbon dioxide emitted by the respiration of fruits and vegetables within storage cells, all while preventing the introduction of external air contaminants.

Marvil's carbon dioxide absorbers, namely COM, ECOM, and ECOM Plus, operate on a sophisticated principle. They utilize molecular-activated carbon filters housed within tanks to capture CO2 molecules from the airflow originating from the storage cells. This process occurs seamlessly through a precisely controlled cycle, orchestrated by a microprocessor, ensuring optimal performance.

These absorbers offer flexibility, accommodating single-cell connections or interconnections with multiple cells via manifolds and valves. Their versatility extends to supporting various conservation processes in controlled atmospheres due to their remarkable efficacy.

Constructed with a robust painted steel frame, complemented by sleek panels in pre-painted galvanized steel, the absorbers boast a blend of durability and aesthetics. Among their notable features:

• AUTOTEST functionality enables automated testing of controlled atmosphere rooms.
• ANTIMIX technology prevents gas mixing within individual rooms, with each cleaning cycle seamlessly integrating with the targeted room's operation.
• RESTORE capability automatically re-establishes standard environmental conditions through a reversed absorber cycle, should a decision be made to transition a room from controlled atmosphere mode.
