DSW manufactures and supplies small aluminum CO2 cylinders for aquarium CO2 systems, beverage equipment, compact carbon dioxide supply systems, and other applications requiring a lightweight and portable CO2 cylinder.
Available capacities include 45g, 95g, 500g, and 0.6L configurations, depending on the application. Aluminum construction provides a lightweight, corrosion-resistant solution for compact carbon dioxide storage and supply.
Small Aluminum CO2 Cylinder Applications
Small CO2 cylinders are designed for applications that require more capacity than
a disposable CO2 cartridge while maintaining a compact and portable form factor.
CO2 Cylinders for Aquariums
Aquarium CO2 cylinders provide a controlled carbon dioxide supply for planted aquarium systems. CO2 is introduced into the aquarium through a compatible regulator and diffuser to provide aquatic plants with a source of carbon for photosynthesis.
DSW supplies small CO2 cylinders in 45g, 95g, and 500g configurations for compatible aquarium CO2 systems. The appropriate cylinder capacity depends on aquarium size, CO2 consumption, regulator compatibility, and required operating time.
Compact Beverage CO2 Systems
Small aluminum CO2 cylinders can provide a compact carbon dioxide supply for compatible beverage dispensing and carbonation equipment.
For beverage applications, customers should specify the required CO2 purity, cylinder capacity, valve configuration, connection type, and equipment compatibility.
Food-grade CO2 filling options are available for suitable applications.
Portable CO2 Supply Systems
The lightweight design of aluminum CO2 cylinders makes them suitable for portable and space-constrained CO2 systems. They can be used
where a larger gas supply than a small cartridge is required without using a full-size industrial gas cylinder.
Specialty CO2 Applications
Small aluminum CO2 cylinders can also be supplied for compatible testing, dispensing, pneumatic, and other specialty applications requiring a compact
source of compressed carbon dioxide.
Small CO2 Cylinder Sizes
DSW offers different small CO2 cylinder capacities to accommodate different equipment and gas consumption requirements.

| Packaging | 1 pc/box; 10 pcs/carton |
Actual cylinder specifications, valve configuration, filling capacity, connection type, and applicable standards should be confirmed according to the intended application and destination market.
Advantages of Aluminum CO2 Cylinders
- Lightweight construction: Aluminum cylinders are easier to handle and transport than many conventional steel cylinders.
- Corrosion resistance: Aluminum provides good resistance to corrosion for suitable CO2 storage applications.
- Compact design: Small capacities are suitable for space-constrained CO2 systems.
- Portable CO2 supply: Suitable for applications where portability is important.
- Different capacities: Available in several small capacities for different equipment requirements.
Aluminum CO2 Cylinder vs. CO2 Cartridge
Although the terms CO2 cartridge and CO2 cylinder are sometimes used interchangeably in the market, they can refer to different products and applications.
| Feature | CO2 Cartridge | Small Aluminum CO2 Cylinder |
|---|---|---|
| Typical Capacity | 8g–16g | 45g–500g and larger configurations |
| Typical Use | Beer chargers, soda makers, inflators | Aquariums, compact CO2 systems, specialty applications |
| Form Factor | Very compact | Larger portable cylinder |
| Connection | Threaded or non-threaded | Valve and application-specific connection |
| CO2 Supply | Small-volume supply | Higher-capacity CO2 supply |
