ABSTRACT:
A CO2-based beverage dispensing system includes a CO2monitoring unit operative to emit a warning upon detecting excessive consumption of CO2gas. The CO2monitoring unit includes a gas input port, a gas output port, a CO2monitor, an alarm, and in one embodiment a shut-off valve. The CO2monitor may measure CO2gas flow rate or pressure, and indicate excessive CO2gas consumption if the measured CO2gas flow rate is above a predetermined flow rate or the measured CO2gas pressure is below a predetermined pressure level. The CO2monitor may include chronological functionality, and only indicate excessive CO2gas consumption if the measured quantity trips a threshold for a predetermined duration.
