ABSTRACT:
A method for continuously preparing a carbonated liquid is disclosed wherein a liquid is exposed to an atmosphere of carbon dioxide gas as ultrathin liquid sheets. The extremely high surface areas so exposed, coupled with turbulence within the liquid sheets, allow for high carbonation levels in just a few milliseconds. Since the carbonation of the liquid occurs on a scale of microns of liquid thickness, the carbonation is extremely uniform and subsequent liquid mixing or stabilization time is usually not required. Further, since the carbonation occurs on a time scale of milliseconds, the carbonator pressure vessel is very compact compared to its liquid throughput.
