Product Manual - VaporMan 125®Manifold Vaporizer System
General
While Chart equipment is designed and built to the most
rigid standards, no piece of mechanical equipment can
ever be made 100% foolproof. Strict compliance with
proper safety and handling practices are necessary when
using a cryogenic manifold device or other compressed
gas equipment. We recommend that all of our customers
re-emphasize safety and safe handling practices to all their
employees and customers. While every possible safety
feature has been designed into the VaporMan 125 manifold
system and safe operations are anticipated, it is essential
that the customer carefully read and fully understand all
WARNING and CAUTION notes listed in this safety
summary and enumerated below.
Warning! CO2gas is a colorless, odorless,
tasteless gas that displaces
oxygen and does not support
life. The gas is difcult to detect
without assistance of special
equipment. Avoid breathing or
contacting CO2in gas, liquid or
solid form.
Exposure to concentrations of more than 3% in air can cause
physical symptoms including unconsciousness, serious
injuries or death. Even low concentrations of CO2can cause:
• Dizziness, headaches, nausea or disorientation
• Increased respiration or heart rate
• Shortness of breath or rapid suffocation
CO2is heavier than air and can collect in low areas such
as basements, stairwells, and conned spaces. Avoid entry
into areas where CO2leaks or high concentrations of CO2
are suspected. Enter those areas with caution only after they
have been thoroughly ventilated.
Handle liquid so that it will not splash or spill. Protect your
eyes and cover skin where the possibility of contact with
liquid CO2, cold pipes and equipment, or cold gas exists.
Safety goggles or a face shield should be worn at all times
when connecting to ll connections, while lling the tank
and during disconnection from the ll connection. Clean,
insulated gloves that can be easily removed and long sleeves
are recommended for arm and hand protection. Cufess
trousers should be worn over the shoes to shed spilled liquid.
Warning! Before removing cylinder parts
or ttings, completely empty
the liquid cylinder of liquid
and release the entire vapor
pressure in a safe manner.
External valves and ttings
can become extremely cold
and may cause painful burns
to personnel unless properly
protected. Personnel must
wear protective gloves and eye
protection whenever removing
parts or loosening ttings.
Failure to do so may result
in personal injury because of
extreme cold and pressure in
the cylinder.
Caution! Use only replacement
equipment, which is compatible
with carbon dioxide and has
been cleaned for oxygen
use. Do not use regulators,
ttings, hoses, etc., which
have been previously used in a
compressed air environment.
Similarly, do not use oxygen
equipment for compressed air.
Failure to comply with these
instructions may result in
serious damage to the liquid
cylinder.
Caution! The VaporMan 125 unit must be
secured to the oor. Failure to
comply with this procedure may
result in damage to the unit.
Handling the VaporMan 125 Unit
The VaporMan 125 unit is shipped on a pallet. The preferred
handling method is a forklift that lifts the pallet and places
it. However, the permanent placement of the VaporMan
125 unit can be done by hand. The unit comes with four
holes in the base plate in order to secure it to the oor. The
VaporMan125 unit is rather light and can be moved by two
people with ease. Be careful when moving the unit as the
vaporizer ns can be sharp.

provide a means of articial respiration. If there is difculty
breathing, an oxygen supply will be benecial. Call a
physician or paramedics for help.
Contact with Dry Ice
If exposed to dry ice, stop exposure at once. Do not pour
water on wound. Seek immediate medical attention.
Spill or Leak Procedures
In the event of a CO2leak or spill, evacuate all personnel
from the affected area. Ventilate the exposed area thoroughly
before re-entering. Do not forget to ventilate any low areas
such as a basement or stairwells that may have collected
carbon dioxide.
Disconnecting Precautions
Always wear gloves and protective eye wear when
disconnecting liquid CO2ttings and hoses. After using the
VaporMan 125 system make sure all of the valves supplying
the system are closed. Slowly remove the connection
ttings and hoses to relieve pressure from the lines and the
VaporMan 125 unit.

Product Manual - VaporMan 125®Manifold Vaporizer System
General
The VaporMan125 Manifold Vaporizer System is designed
to combine two bulk carbon dioxide tanks or one carbon
dioxide Perma-Cyl®MicroBulk Storage System tank on a
reliable, economical basis. The unit is intended to fulll the
high ow requirements of distributors for micro-breweries,
stadium applications, industrial applications, and various
other high-ow applications.
The VaporMan 125 system comes with all the necessary
ttings to connect two Carbo-Max®750 Bulk CO2System
tanks to the unit. A separate kit can be bought along with the
VaporMan 125 system for two Carbo-Max 1000 tanks. There
is also a specic part number for a VaporMan 125 system
Perma-Cyl tank.
System Overview
The VaporMan 125 system consists of two vaporizers, one
parallel and one series, and a manifolding sub-assembly. The
CO2enters the manifolding section and is combined before
being routed to the parallel vaporizer. The parallel vaporizer
vaporizes the CO2into cold gas. The cold gas then enters the
series vaporizer, which warms the cold gas to an adequate
temperature before being sent downstream to equipment.
The design and construction of the VaporMan 125 system
is aimed at building the most efcient and affordable
vaporizing unit available. Engineered as a complete high
ow vaporizing system, the VaporMan 125 system can be
coupled with a high ow regulator to achieve ow rates
of 125 lbs/hour (56 kg/hr). The manifolding section of the
VaporMan 125 system makes installation simple and straight
forward. The unit is essentially a plug and play assembly.
The vaporizers are connected in a specic order and the
vaporizer selection was intentional. The parallel vaporizer is
used to vaporize the liquid into cold gas. The gas is then sent
through the series vaporizer in order to warm the gas and
prepare it to be used downstream.
The VaporMan 125 system is protected from over-
pressurization by a primary safety relief valve set at 350
psig. This has been included for the time when the system
may be mistakenly isolated or if a blockage occurs.
Physical Description
VaporMan 125 Components
The components on the manifold section can be used in three
ways:
• Two Carbo-Max 750 or 1000 tanks
• One Carbo-Max 750 or 1000 tank
• One Perma-Cyl tank
The manifold section provides four connections, a pressure
gauge and an economizer regulator. The manifold section is
mounted to a panel that is conveniently located for ease of
hook up. The connections are standard 5/8" ODT 45° are.
This is the tting needed for the standard ll hoses that are
used on all beverage tank installations.
Vaporizing Circuit
The vaporizing circuit includes two vaporizers. One
vaporizer is a parallel ambient vaporizer and the other is
a series ambient vaporizer. The vaporizers are connected
in order to maximize the vaporization of the product. The
parallel vaporizer is used to quickly vaporize liquid into gas.
The series vaporizer is used to warm the gas, not vaporize
liquid. Each of the vaporizers has a 600 psi maximum
allowable working pressure.
Safety Pressure Relief Section
The safety relief is a 350 psi pressure relief device. This is to
relieve pressure in the event liquid were to be trapped in the
vaporizers or in case of re.
*Each VaporMan 125 PED model is equipped with relief
devices with set pressures of 20.68 Bar.

Introduction Product Manual - VaporMan 125®Manifold Vaporizer System
Tank Connections
Multiple ttings and components are included with the
VaporMan 125 kit. All the necessary hoses, check valves,
caps, and connections are included for two Carbo-Max 750
tanks. The check valves included ensure that no water or
foreign product compromises the carbon dioxide tanks. The
bushings and connectors are required for making the right
connections between the tank and the VaporMan 125 system.
Option Kits
For those who have one or two Carbo-Max®1000 Bulk
CO2System tanks or who have one Perma-Cyl®MicroBulk
Storage System tank there are two optional kits that will
need to be purchased as well. The kit names are 'KIT
CARBOMAX VAPORMAN 1000' and 'KIT VAPORMAN
125 PERMA'. Each of these kits includes the hoses and
ttings needed in order to use the VaporMan 125 system.
High Flow Regulator
The VaporMan 125 system is designed for high ow
applications. The nal line regulator that is installed on the
beverage tanks can be used at ow rates up to 75 lbs/hour
(34 Kg/Hr). If a higher ow rate is desired — i.e. 80 lbs/
hour, (36 Kg/Hr), 100 lbs/hour (45 Kg/Hr) or 125 lbs/hour
(56 Kg/Hr) — the high-ow regulator can be purchased from
www.chartparts.com using part number 11779806.

Product Manual - VaporMan 125®Manifold Vaporizer System
Initial Inspections
When the tanks and/or VaporMan 125 system are rst
received they should be inspected for shipping damage.
Never ll a damaged tank or use a damaged VaporMan 125
system.
If the tanks arrive with zero pressure, they should be
pressurized and checked for leaks.
Filling Procedures
Before lling the tank it should be visually inspected for
possible damage or unsuitability for intended use. If damage
is detected (i.e. serious dents, loose ttings, etc.) remove the
unit from service and conduct the necessary repairs as soon
as possible.
It is recommended that when using two Carbo-Max®750 or
1000 Bulk CO2 System tanks that you install two ll boxes.
This will help in conrming that both tanks are completely
full. If there are no ll boxes, then you can ll the tanks
individually. When there are no ll boxes, please make sure
you have an adequate way to pipe the vent circuits outdoors
in a safe manner.
Installing the VaporMan 125 Unit
The VaporMan 125 unit is assembled with a stand and base.
The base has a hole in each corner. This will serve as the
location for the bolts that will be used to anchor the unit
to the oor. The VaporMan 125 unit should be anchored
to the oor in an accessible location and conveniently
located for easy connections. A place that has circulation is
recommended to aid in melting the ice that might build up on
the vaporizers during operation. The VaporMan 125 unit will
then need to be connected to the tank or tanks in order to be
used.
Note: A video presentation of the installation
and instructions for the VaporMan 125
system can be found online at https://www.
youtube.com/user/chartindustries.
Operations
First, there are some parts that must be removed from the
two tanks that will be used. Detail drawings of the parts that
are to be removed and the parts to be added are included on
the next pages of this manual. The Gas Use and Economizer
sections will change on the Carbo-Max 750 Bulk CO2
System, and the Gas Use, Economizer, and Pressure Building
sections will change on the Carbo-Max 1000 Bulk CO2
System. The parts that are removed may be kept and used
in other locations if they are in good condition. Some of the
parts to be removed will actually be reused when adding the
necessary ttings to connect to the VaporMan 125 unit.
Caution! Make sure to plumb the tanks as
we recommend in the following
Plumbing Procedures section.
Do not use any other methods.
The plumbing conguration and
specic ttings have been tested
and proven to work properly.
Other methods of plumbing or
connecting to the VaporMan 125
system must be cleared through
Chart before continuing. Chart is
not responsible for improperly
plumbed tanks or improperly
connected VaporMan 125 units.
This could lead to issues with
the system, damage or poor
performance.

Operations Product Manual - VaporMan 125®Manifold Vaporizer System
Connecting to the VaporMan 125
Unit
The VaporMan 125 unit is shipped with caps on the four
ports on the manifold. If you are using two tanks, you will
need to remove all four caps. If you are only using one tank,
only remove the left two caps or the two right caps. The
transfer hoses that come with the unit can now be connected
to their proper ports. The diagrams in the Specications
section of this manual tell which connections match between
the VaporMan 125 unit and the tanks. The economizing
connections on the tanks should be connected to the two top
ports on the VaporMan 125 unit. Each of these connections
are 5/8” ared ttings that will mate to the transfer hoses.
The gas use connections on the tanks should be routed to the
bottom two connections on the manifold. Tighten each end of
each hose with a wrench. Check for leaks before pressurizing
the system.
For a Carbo-Max®1000 Bulk CO2System the pressure
building circuits must be connected. This allows the tanks
to equalize their head spaces. This is an integral part in the
success of this set-up. If the head spaces are not connected
the tanks may not distribute CO2to the VaporMan 125 unit
equally.
The check valves are in place to prevent any back ow
into each tank. The check valves also ensure that the tanks
equalize and feed the VaporMan 125 system equally.
Delivering CO2to the VaporMan 125
System
Once the connections are tightened and the entire unit has
been leak checked, the VaporMan 125 system can now be
used. A regulator should be placed on the downstream side
of the VaporMan 125 unit to reach the desired delivery
pressure to your particular application. The regulator can
be connected to the VaporMan 125 unit or placed further
downstream to take advantage of more vaporization. The
nal line regulator from one of the tanks may be used, or the
high ow regulator PN 11779806 can be ordered from Chart
Parts.
The VaporMan 125 system has no isolation valves, therefore
the system is operated by opening all of the isolation valves
on each tank. The economizing circuit, gas use circuit, and
the pressure building circuit (for Carbo-Max 1000 tank)
should all be opened on each tank. The VaporMan 125 unit
will function as an extension of the tanks and will provide
vaporized CO2for your application.
Caution! Once the isolation valves on the
tank have been opened pressure
should be allowed to escape from
the transfer hoses before they
are completely removed.

Replacing the Economizing
Regulator
The regulator used on the manifold is the same type and part
number used in the economizing circuit for the tanks. If the
regulator is failing, please replace it with the same regulator.
Maintenance & Troubleshooting
Miscellaneous Fittings
The remaining pieces on the VaporMan 125 system should
be inspected for corrosion or fatigue failure over time. All of
the various parts can be provided through www.chartparts.
com. The other components of the unit are stainless steel or
aluminum and should have great longevity.
Troubleshooting
The following table is arranged in a Trouble/Possible Cause/Remedy format. The possible causes for specic problems are
listed in descending order of signicance. That is, check out the rst cause listed before proceeding to the next. Perform all
procedures in order listed and exactly as stated (Refer to drawings as required to locate system components identied in the
troubleshooting guide.)
Trouble Possible Cause Remedy
VaporMan 125 system pressure is
too low or does not build pressure
at a sufcient rate
VaporMan 125 unit or system is leaking If the pressure does not build and stays
at a setting lower than desired, check the
VaporMan 125 unit or downstream for leaks
Energy level of liquid in tank is low The pressure building rate for product
stored at a lower pressure will be slower
than a product stored at a higher pressure.
To achieve best results, maintain the tank
pressure at a working pressure above 125
psi.
Pressure building regulator is set
improperly or leaks
If the pressure builds and stays at a
pressure higher than desired, adjust the
pressure building regulator to a new setting
Cylinder is leaking Check for frost on lines or on top of head.
Listen for hissing, soap test joints for leaks.
Isolate leak and call Chart for repair details
Vacuum is deteriorating This can be accompanied by cold or frost
occurring evenly over the cylinder surface.
Refer to the troubleshooting section on frost
VaporMan 125 unit has blockage Check the unit for signs of blockages. Dry
ice or foreign material can prevent ow
through the unit.
Frost occurs on vaporizers Vaporizers are working properly This is normal. Ice may remain for the
entirety of the use.
