Just got a new ANS solenoid from C328 last night. When I turned on the main valve on cylinder, I could hear pressure & the working pressure gauge instantly turned to 30psi, but the cylinder pressure gauge is still showing 0.
You can see on my photo below, the cylinder pressure shows 0, but everything else is working normally, there are bubbles coming out from diffuser like normal.
Previously I only had a single gauge (working pressure only) solenoid, so I'm not familiar with 2 gauge solenoid. Is this faulty?
Brought the co2 tank & solenoid to Bioplast to check, turned out it was already empty, lol. Which is weird coz I just refilled less than 1 mth ago. Either they didn't refilled fully or leaked.
Now the cylinder pressure gauge finally shows 1000psi. Oh, well.
The left side shows the pressure inside the tank, while the right shows the working pressure.
It will show 1000 ~ 1200 as long as there's liquid co2 inside. As for the right side, most regulators are fixed and cannot be changed.
Yes I'm fully aware of that.Originally Posted by qngwn
Its just that cylinder pressure was 0, which indicated empty tank, BUT the working pressure was still showing 30psi & the diffuser was still dispensing CO2 bubbles for 1 full day.
Which is why it puzzled me.
So it's as if an empty CO2 canister can still dispense some CO2? When you say that the diffuser can still dispense as per normal for 1 full day, you mean the BPS never decrease even slightly? Btw, hencpu, how come your gauges+solenoid is mounted horizontally on top of your canister?

It probably did, because when I came home late at night, I noticed the working pressure needled already dropped from 30psi to 0. That's when I suspected the tank was really empty. Because on my previous refilled I didn't weight the tank nor did I have a solenoid that shows cylinder pressure.
My canister is 1L one.
