A new cryogenic application: liquid nitrogen injection in beverage products.

Type of article: Article

Summary

There are two challenges in introducing noncarbonated beverages to the market: first, a suitable canning method to drive the per unit economics to levels competitive with those of canning traditional carbonated soft drinks; then, before the final sealing process, the cans must be pressurized in order to use traditional methods. The liquid nitrogen storage, delivery and injection system, designed by the author, with low heat leak, can be specially designed to provide consistent pressure within each can of non-carbonated beverage. The specific configuration of the complete system varies depending on the specific plant operation or lay out. All variable factors must be considered through a detailed site survey and analysis.
