An improvement in a process for introducing carbon dioxide into a liquid flowing through a main line, the improvement residing in withdrawing a portion of said liquid through a by-pass line, introducing carbon dioxide into said liquid while in said by-pass line and returning the carbon dioxide enriched liquid to said main line while adjusting the amount of carbon dioxide introduced into said by-pass line to provide a desired carbon dioxide concentration in said liquid in said main line and a device therefore. The process and device disclosed are especially useful for introducing a gas into a beverage, for example, beer, mineral water, barley water, fruit juices, milk and generally alcoholic and nonalcoholic carbon dioxide containing beverages.
A device for introducing carbon dioxide into a liquid which comprises a main line through which a liquid can pass, a bypass line branching from said main line at a first point and returning to said main line at a second point, means for introducing carbon dioxide into said liquid maintained in said by-pass line, said means comprising a jet producing system which in turn comprises a driving jet nozzle connected to said bypass line, said bypass line having a low pressure chamber in fluid communication with a source of carbon dioxide, the cross sectional areas in said jet producing system being in the ratios:
